And just like that, all 48 teams participating in the 2026 World Cup™ have played at least one match since Thursday, June 11. Although the bulk of the tournament has yet to pan out, we at House of Heat° want to highlight the competition's top goalscorers so far.
Hate him or love him, Argentina's Lionel Messi leads the pack with three goals. Seven different footballers—including France's Kylian Mbappé and Norway's Erling Haaland—are tied at two goals each.
Six of the Top 8 goalscorers thus far have worn either Nike Football or adidas Football boots, but PUMA and Skechers have also gotten on the scoreboard.
Check back between today and Sunday, July 19, to see who ends up as the 2026 World Cup™'s top goalscorer. To shop some of the boots worn throughout the tournament, visit DICK'S SPORTING GOODS.
