Note: The first Golden Boot tiebreaker is assists, followed by the player with the fewest minutes played.

Benteke is the focal point in D.C. United's offense, contributing 18g/6a. The former Premier League standout and Belgian international uses his dominant aerial game to torment opposing defenses.

It's been a career year for Arango with 17g/11a. However, the Colombian international recently suffered a hamstring injury and could slide down the leaderboard.

Bouanga is hoping to become the first-ever MLS Golden Boot back-to-back winner. LAFC's star forward has 16g/9a and is now joined by iconic French striker Olivier Giroud.

Suárez has won a Golden Boot in the Premier League, LaLiga and Eredivisie. Can the legendary Uruguayan striker add an MLS Golden Boot during his first Inter Miami season?

With 14g/2a, Musa is enjoying the most prolific debut season in FC Dallas history. The Croatian international striker arrived last winter from Portuguese powerhouse Benfica.

Gazdag is compiling his third straight season with double-digit goals (14g/2a). Should Philadelphia make a late Audi MLS Cup Playoffs push, rest assured the Hungarian international will play an important role.

Cucho was Columbus' star man as they won the Leagues Cup 2024 title. Now, can the Crew's maestro add top-scorer honors as the reigning MLS Cup champions enter the stretch run?

Just how good was Andrés Gómez for RSL? The Colombian winger (13g/9a) just earned a reported eight-figure transfer to French Ligue 1 side Stade Rennais, concluding an impressive 18 months in MLS.

Rodríguez is part of arguably MLS' top attacking group, tallying 13g/6a as the Timbers chase a postseason berth. The Uruguayan attacker was signed in March from LIGA MX side Club América.

Bogusz's breakout season recently resulted in a Poland call-up for UEFA Nations League matches. Playing primarily as a false 9, he has 13g/6a in 25 appearances.

On the bubble
  • Felipe Mora (POR) - 13g/5a

  • Lionel Messi (MIA) - 12g/13a
  • Dejan Joveljic (LA) - 12g/5a
  • Lewis Morgan (RBNY) - 12g/4a
  • Brian White (VAN) - 12g/2a
