The 2026 World Cup Golden Boot race is shaping up to be one of the most competitive ever, with four of football’s biggest stars chasing the scoring lead.
Lionel Messi currently tops the chart with eight goals, while Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland have seven each, and Harry Kane has six.
Double-digit goals at a World Cup is a rare achievement, but all four players are on pace to challenge that mark.
France will face Spain on Tuesday, July 14, before Argentina takes on England on Wednesday, July 15, with a place in the World Cup final at stake.
