Kylian Mbappe loves the World Cup, and soccer fans adore watching him perform on the biggest stage. That relationship has blossomed further in North America, as he's grabbed eight more goals from six starts at FIFA World Cup 2026.
Those efforts increased Mbappe's World Cup tally to 20 goals, as he netted 12 during his two previous global tournaments (2018 & 2022). It meant he leapt ahead of the legendary Just Fontaine, to become France's all-time leading scorer at the biggest event on the planet.
In addition, he's increased his international total to 64 goals, which saw him surpass the previous overall topscorer for Les Bleus, Olivier Giroud (57 goals).
Expectations are high that Mbappe can further add to his scoring record during the World Cup knockouts. Up next for France, it's their semifinal match-up vs Spain in Dallas this Tuesday (July 14).

What to expect from Kylian Mbappe at World Cup 2026
At the tender age of just 19, Kylian Mbappe hit the headlines globally, when he scored a brace during France’s Round of 16 clash with Argentina at World Cup 2018. Those were just two of four goals the talented youngster would net in his opening World Cup campaign.
Four years on and the then Paris Saint-Germain forward, would treble his World Cup goal tally, scoring eight times at Qatar 2022. Although France had to take home runners-up medals, Mbappe rose to the occasion in the Final against Argentina, bagging a heroic hat-trick.
Having now netted 20 times during World Cup tournaments, Mbappe, who of course currently plies his trade for Real Madrid, now finds himself in second spot in the all-time World Cup goalscoring list. He lies just one goal behind Lionel Messi.
As well as the urge to see Kylian Mbappe play, the general desire to travel and see France in action has grown in recent times and many football supporters will be keen to see how they perform in North America in the summer. The two-time World Cup winners are one of only six sides to have been crowned champions on multiple occasions.
