Kylian Mbappe has already starred at two World Cups for France, helping his country lift the trophy in 2018 aged just 19 and then becoming only the second player to score a hat-trick in the final during the defeat by Argentina four years later. Ahead of the 2026 World Cup, FourFourTwo brings you all the details on how to watch his every touch of the ball this summer.

The Real Madrid star is set to captain the tournament favourites in North America and it won't just be the ultimate prize on his mind, with Mbappe only four goals shy of Miroslav Klose's record all-time World Cup total of 16.

After a prolific but trophyless season in Madrid, the 27-year-old will be desperate to lead his country to their third World Cup.
