Erling Haaland 🇳🇴

National team: Norway
Club team: Manchester City
League: Premier League

Everyone's new favorite Viking will be back on the pitch before you know it, striking fear into opposing defenders and racking up goals at an absurd clip for Manchester City in the top flight of English soccer.

The 2026-27 Premier League campaign begins Aug. 21.

Manchester City, led by Haaland and World Cup winner Rodri, are aiming to claim their fifth Premier League crown in the last seven seasons. They finished second to Arsenal last season after an enthralling title race.

Lionel Messi 🇦🇷

National team: Argentina
Club team: Inter Miami
League: Major League Soccer (MLS)

The GOAT came up just short of winning another World Cup title this summer, but you can watch him light up Major League Soccer and continue to defy Father Time with his dazzling array of skills.

The 2026 MLS season has resumed after its World Cup break, with Messi expected to rejoin club side Inter Miami in August after an extended holiday.

Kylian Mbappe 🇫🇷

National team: France
Club team: Real Madrid
League: La Liga

👉 Tap here to follow Kylian Mbappe

Mbappe, the most prolific scorer in World Cup history, will take his talents back to arguably the most storied club team in the sport when he suits up for his third season at Real Madrid.

Alongside club teammate and fellow World Cup sensation Jude Bellingham, Mbappe and Real Madrid will renew their age-old rivalry with fellow Spanish powerhouse Barcelona when the new La Liga campaign kicks off Aug. 15.

Mark your calendars: El Clasico, the famed battles between Real Madrid and Barcelona that are among the most anticipated soccer matchups every single year, are slated for Oct. 25 and May 9, 2027 this season.

Lamine Yamal 🇪🇸

National team: Spain
Club team: Barcelona
League: La Liga

We might be witnessing the greatest soccer career in history being forged right in front of our eyes. Yamal, who just turned 19 this month, added a World Cup title to the European Championship he won two years ago.

There's a long way to go before the Spanish phenom can truly challenge Messi in the GOAT debate, but his current trajectory is unlike anything we've seen from a teenager. Get in now, and one day, you may be able to tell your friends that you knew about the best footballer ever while he still had braces.

Cristiano Ronaldo 🇵🇹

National team: Portugal
Club team: Al-Nassr
League: Saudi Pro League

👉 Tap here to follow Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo, 41, made history at the World Cup as the first player to score in six different editions of the tournament. He and Portugal bowed out to eventual champion Spain in the round of 16, marking his final World Cup match and ending his hunt for the coveted trophy.

But there's still one very lofty milestone the iconic forward is chasing as he returns to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr.

Ronaldo is trying to become the first footballer in history to score 1,000 career goals, and we're tracking his historic pursuit in real time. Follow along with us by tapping the link below:
