The UEFA Nations League has produced plenty of goals since its launch in 2018. Some of Europe’s biggest names have made their mark. Others have quietly built strong scoring records.
UEFA Nations League All-Time Top Goalscorers
Here are the players with the most goals in Nations League history.
UEFA Nations League • Rank 1 Erling Haaland
Erling Haaland is the UEFA Nations League’s all-time leading scorer with 19 goals. He scored six in 2020/21, six in 2022/23 and seven in 2024/25.
Haaland has scored in every Nations League campaign he has played. His finishing is direct and ruthless, which is why Norway have relied so heavily on him in this competition.
UEFA Nations League • Rank 2 Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo has 15 UEFA Nations League goals. He also leads the competition for goals scored in the Nations League Finals, with five.
Ronaldo has remained a decisive scorer for Portugal deep into his career. His record also shows how often he has delivered in the biggest Nations League matches.
UEFA Nations League • Rank 2 Aleksandar Mitrović
Aleksandar Mitrović is level with Ronaldo on 15 Nations League goals. He also scored in five consecutive Nations League matches between 2022 and 2024.
Mitrović has been Serbia’s main penalty-box threat throughout the competition. His strength, movement and finishing have made him one of the most reliable scorers in Nations League history.
UEFA Nations League • Rank 4 Romelu Lukaku
Romelu Lukaku has scored 13 goals in UEFA Nations League competition. That total puts Belgium’s record international scorer fourth on the all-time list.
Lukaku has consistently given Belgium a powerful focal point in attack. His pace and physical presence have helped him score against a wide range of Nations League opponents.
UEFA Nations League • Rank 4 Vedat Muriqi
Vedat Muriqi is also on 13 UEFA Nations League goals. His latest major contribution was a hat-trick against Iceland in March 2025.
Muriqi has been Kosovo’s most important scoring outlet in the Nations League. He is especially dangerous in the air and inside the penalty area, where he converts chances quickly.
UEFA Nations League • Rank 6 Viktor Gyökeres
Viktor Gyökeres reached 10 Nations League goals in only two editions. Nine of those came in 2024/25, making him that season’s top scorer.
Gyökeres made a huge jump in the 2024/25 campaign. His pace, strength and relentless running turned him into one of the most difficult forwards to contain in the competition.
UEFA Nations League • Rank 7 Edin Džeko
Edin Džeko has nine UEFA Nations League goals. He was still scoring in the competition at 38, finding the net against Germany in October 2024.
Džeko’s Nations League numbers reflect his longevity as much as his quality. He has continued to score for Bosnia and Herzegovina even late in his international career.
UEFA Nations League • Rank 7 Christian Eriksen
Christian Eriksen has scored nine goals in the UEFA Nations League. His total has been built across all four editions played before the 2026/27 competition.
Eriksen offers Denmark more than goals, but his scoring record remains impressive. He often arrives late into attacking areas and can also threaten from distance or set pieces.
UEFA Nations League • Rank 7 Danel Sinani
Danel Sinani has nine UEFA Nations League goals for Luxembourg. That record places him among the competition’s ten most prolific scorers.
Sinani’s total is especially notable given Luxembourg’s position in European football. He has been one of their most consistent attacking players across several Nations League campaigns.
UEFA Nations League • Rank 7 Kylian Mbappé
Kylian Mbappé has nine UEFA Nations League goals. Four of them came in the Nations League final tournaments, second only to Cristiano Ronaldo.
Mbappé’s speed and movement make him a natural fit for Nations League football. Even when France rotate their squad, he remains the player most likely to change a match in one moment.
