The 2026 UEFA Nations League is about to begin, with Europe's biggest international stars preparing to return to action for their respective national teams. As another edition of the competition gets underway, the tournament's all-time goalscoring charts provide a fascinating look at the players who have consistently found the back of the net since the Nations League was introduced.
Here is a look at the top goalscorers in UEFA Nations League history according to the official records.
6. Viktor Gyökeres — 10 Goals
Tournaments: 2 (2023, 2025)
Viktor Gyökeres has already established himself among the Nations League's elite goalscorers despite featuring in only two tournaments.
The Sweden striker has scored 10 goals across his Nations League appearances, an impressive return considering his relatively short history in the competition.
His inclusion alongside players with twice as many tournaments highlights just how prolific he has been whenever he has represented Sweden in the Nations League.
5. Vedat Muriqi — 10 Goals
Tournaments: 4 (2019, 2021, 2023, 2025)
Kosovo striker Vedat Muriqi has also reached the 10-goal mark in the Nations League.
Muriqi has featured across four editions of the competition, giving him plenty of opportunities to build his tally.
His 10 goals have made him one of Kosovo's most important attacking players and placed him among the tournament's leading scorers.
4. Romelu Lukaku — 10 Goals
Tournaments: 4 (2019, 2021, 2023, 2025)
Belgian superstar Romelu Lukaku completes the group of players sitting on 10 Nations League goals.
The powerful striker has been a consistent goalscorer for Belgium throughout his international career, and the Nations League has provided another stage for him to demonstrate that finishing ability.
With four tournaments under his belt, Lukaku has maintained his place among the competition's most productive forwards.
3. Aleksandar Mitrović — 15 Goals
Tournaments: 4 (2019, 2021, 2023, 2025)
Aleksandar Mitrović takes third place with an impressive 15 goals.
The Serbia striker has scored those goals across four Nations League tournaments, making him one of the competition's most experienced and prolific goalscorers.
Mitrović's physical presence and penalty-box instincts have made him a constant threat for Serbia, and his 15-goal tally puts him firmly among the Nations League's all-time great scorers.
2. Cristiano Ronaldo — 15 Goals
Tournaments: 4 (2019, 2021, 2023, 2025)
Cristiano Ronaldo is also on 15 goals, sharing second place with Mitrović.
The Portugal captain's record is particularly notable given his extraordinary longevity at the international level. Ronaldo has consistently remained one of Portugal's biggest goalscoring threats and has added another competition record to an already remarkable collection of international achievements. He is very close to achieving the 150 International Goals.
With 15 Nations League goals from four tournaments, he remains within touching distance of the all-time leader.
1. Erling Haaland — 19 Goals
Tournaments: 3 (2021, 2023, 2025)
At the top of the list is Erling Haaland, who has scored an extraordinary 19 goals in the UEFA Nations League.
Even more remarkable is the fact that the Norway striker has achieved that tally across just three tournaments.
Haaland's combination of physical power, movement and ruthless finishing has made him one of the most dangerous strikers in international football, and his Nations League record reflects exactly that.
With four more goals than Ronaldo and Mitrović, Haaland currently holds a clear advantage at the summit.
However, with another Nations League edition about to begin, the rankings could still change.
Ronaldo, Mitrović, Lukaku, Muriqi, Gyökeres and Haaland will all have the opportunity to add to their respective tallies, while a new generation of international stars will be hoping to begin their own climb up the UEFA Nations League all-time goalscoring chart.
