2026/27 Champions League Top Goalscorer Odds: Mbappe Favourite to Retain His Crown

Football Betting · Updated 28 August 2026

The 2026/27 UEFA Champions League — with bet365 once again pitch-side as one of the competition’s betting partners this season — is throwing up a genuinely open top goalscorer market, and the league phase draw has only sharpened the picture. With the top sides now able to play up to 17 games in a single campaign, this is a market where reaching double figures is looking more valuable than ever. Here’s where the odds stand, and where we see the value.

Mbappe Out in Front Again

Kylian Mbappe enters the season as the clear 7/2 favourite to be the Champions League’s top scorer for a second year running. He plundered 15 goals in just 11 games last term to win the award, and he’s now sixth on the competition’s all-time scoring list with 70 goals — one behind Real Madrid legend Raul. At his current scoring rate, closing that gap this season looks less a question of ‘if’ than ‘when’.

Kane’s Relentless Record in Europe

Harry Kane sits second favourite at 7/1, and his underlying numbers make the case. Since moving to Bayern Munich, his Champions League goal tally has climbed every season — eight, then 11, then 14 last term, one behind Mbappe’s tally. At 33, there’s no sign of that curve flattening, and a player still setting personal bests in Europe at this stage of his career is hard to ignore in this market.

Where Haaland Fits

Erling Haaland is the third-favourite at 8/1, but his recent Champions League scoring — eight, eight and six goals across his last three campaigns — hasn’t reached the heights of his 12-goal debut season for Manchester City. Manchester City’s own price to win the competition drifted following the league phase draw, and Haaland’s odds arguably reflect some of that same uncertainty around City’s campaign as much as his individual form.

The Rest of the Market

Ousmane Dembele is next in the betting at 12/1 on the back of PSG’s title-winning run, with Real Madrid pair Jude Bellingham (14/1) and Vinicius Jr. (16/1) both fancied to chip in from deeper positions. A four-way tie for value at 20/1 rounds out the front of the market: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who managed 10 goals from 16 games last season to finish joint-third, Barcelona’s Raphinha and teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, and Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez.

Worth noting: Kvaratskhelia’s 10 goals from 16 appearances only got him to joint-third last season, and the year before that, Serhou Guirassy and Raphinha shared top spot on 13 each, ahead of Kane and Robert Lewandowski on 11. Under the expanded format, it increasingly looks like double figures are the minimum needed to be in the conversation come the final.

Odds correct at the time of writing and subject to change. Full market available with bet365, one of this season’s UEFA Champions League betting partners.

The Bottom Line

Mbappe’s strike rate makes him a deserved favourite, but Kane’s three-year upward curve at Bayern is the number that stands out most in this market. With bet365’s Champions League partnership putting the competition front and centre of its coverage all season, the top goalscorer race looks set to be one of the more closely watched side markets right through to the final.
