The European Golden Boot is up for grabs again in 2025–26, as the continent’s most efficient finishers vie to claim the prize after Kylian Mbappé’s success last season.
The prize is awarded to the highest scorer across all domestic leagues in Europe, with the system in place operating favourably for those competing in the premier divisions. There hasn’t been a European Golden Boot victor from outside of Europe’s top-five leagues since Sporting CP’s Mário Jardel triumphed for a second time in 2001–02.
