Yes, Kylian Mbappé is playing in the 2026 World Cup. He has been named in France’s squad for the tournament.
Mbappé is not just another squad player. He is France’s captain and one of the biggest stars at the tournament. He already won the World Cup with France in 2018 and reached another final in 2022, where he scored a hat trick against Argentina.
In 2026, France will again be one of the teams many fans watch closely. Mbappé gives them speed, goals, experience, and a player who can change a match in a few seconds. He will also be chasing more World Cup records after already becoming one of the top scorers in tournament history.
The only thing that can change his role is fitness or a coach’s tactical decision. Being in the squad does not mean a player starts every match. But if Mbappé is healthy, he is expected to be one of France’s main attacking players.
