Every Major Goalscoring Record Erling Haaland Has Broken

Erling Haaland's Premier League goalscoring records

Haaland's first Premier League season immediately changed the record books.

In 2022/23, he scored 36 goals in 35 Premier League appearances for Manchester City. That became the record for the most goals in a Premier League season, surpassing the previous mark of 34 set by Andrew Cole and Alan Shearer during 42-game seasons. His 36 goals also remain the record for a 38-game Premier League season.

That same season, Haaland scored 52 goals in all competitions for Manchester City. That became the record for the most goals by a player for a Premier League club in a single season, surpassing the previous mark of 44 shared by Mohamed Salah and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

His speed to major milestones has been just as remarkable.

Haaland reached 50 Premier League goals in only 48 appearances, breaking Andrew Cole's previous record of 65 games.

He then went beyond that with another landmark in December 2025, scoring his 100th Premier League goal in his 111th appearance. Alan Shearer had previously held the record after reaching 100 goals in 124 matches.

Haaland also holds the record for the most goals in a player's first 100 Premier League appearances.

He scored 88 goals across those first 100 matches, beating Shearer's previous record of 79. That gives Haaland another measure of his extraordinary scoring rate in England's top division.

There are also several shorter-term milestones from his record-breaking debut season. Haaland became the fastest player to reach 15, 20, 25 and 30 Premier League goals, reaching those totals in nine, 14, 19 and 27 appearances respectively.

Haaland's Champions League goalscoring records

The Champions League has produced an even longer list of Haaland records.

Haaland became the fastest player to reach 20 goals in the competition, needing only 14 appearances. He also became the youngest player to reach that total at 20 years and 231 days.

From there, he continued setting new milestones.

He became the fastest player to 25 goals in 20 games, 30 goals in 25 games, 35 goals in 27 games and 40 goals in 35 games. He also became the youngest player to reach several of those totals.

Then came another major milestone.

In September 2025, Haaland scored against Napoli to reach 50 Champions League goals in just 49 appearances. That made him the fastest player in the history of the competition to reach 50.

He did not stop there.

In September 2026, Haaland reached 60 Champions League goals in his 60th appearance. That made him both the fastest and youngest player to reach 60 goals in the competition, moving ahead of Lionel Messi's previous marks.

UEFA's current records also show that Haaland has scored the most goals of any player across his first 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 Champions League appearances. At 60 appearances, he had scored 61 goals.

There is one famous Champions League record Haaland did not break.

In March 2023, he scored five goals against RB Leipzig in a single match. That equaled the existing competition record held by Lionel Messi and Luiz Adriano rather than surpassing it.

Even so, scoring five times in one Champions League match placed Haaland in an exclusive group of only three players to have achieved the feat.

Haaland's international goalscoring records

Haaland has been rewriting Norway's record books as well.

In October 2024, he became Norway's all-time leading men's goalscorer when he surpassed Jørgen Juve's long-standing record.

His international scoring then reached another level in October 2025.

A hat-trick against Israel took Haaland to 51 goals for Norway in just 46 appearances. That made him the fastest player ever to reach 50 senior international goals, passing the previous modern benchmark set by Harry Kane, who needed 71 appearances.

Haaland has also become the leading scorer in UEFA Nations League history.

He currently sits at the top of the competition's all-time scoring list, having scored 22 Nations League goals for Norway. His record includes goals from both the league phase and qualifying matches.

His World Cup qualifying campaign for Norway also produced a remarkable record. Haaland scored 16 goals during qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, scoring in all eight of Norway's qualifying matches.

And his scoring records have extended to the World Cup itself.

Haaland scored seven goals in five appearances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, including two goals in Norway's 3-2 victory over Senegal. Norway reached the quarter-finals for the first time in the country's history.

The record book is still being written

What makes Haaland's record collection unusual is how many different types of scoring milestones he has accumulated.

He has broken records for total goals, reached major totals faster than anyone before him, become the youngest player to reach several Champions League milestones and established himself as Norway's leading scorer.

And he is only 26.

His Premier League record already includes the fastest 50 and 100 goals, the most goals in a player's first 100 appearances and the highest single-season total in the competition's 38-game era.

In the Champions League, he has become the fastest player to 60 goals and continues to climb a scoring chart that has been dominated by Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert Lewandowski for much of the modern era.

For Norway, he has already moved past a record that stood for generations and has continued pushing the national scoring benchmark higher.

There will be more records within reach as his career continues. UEFA currently lists Lionel Messi's 70-goal Champions League milestone as Haaland's next major target in terms of speed, while Haaland's current pace suggests the record books will continue to change.
