The Premier League top scorers table tracks every goal scorer in the 2025-26 season, ranking the EPL’s leading marksmen in the Golden Boot race.
The Golden Boot is awarded to the player with the most league goals at the end of the season. The table below updates after every matchday, tracking goals, non-penalty goals, and scoring rates across the division. For the full picture, see also the assist leaders and full stats hub. With the run-in underway and roughly a third of the season left, the Golden Boot race is into its decisive phase.
The 2025-26 Golden Boot race
After 32 matchdays, the Golden Boot race has settled into a clear pattern. A small group of forwards have separated from the pack, and the gap between the top two or three scorers and the rest of the field is wide enough that only a sustained hot streak could change the order. The race at the top of the chart pits a familiar Bundesliga import against a breakout campaign from a Brazilian forward — two very different profiles of striker, both producing at an elite rate.
What makes this season’s race interesting is the penalty split. The non-penalty goals column in the table above strips out spot-kicks and gives a cleaner read on who is genuinely finishing the most chances from open play. Several of the top five scorers owe a meaningful chunk of their tally to penalties, which matters when you are comparing output across teams with different levels of chance creation.
With six rounds left, the margins are tight enough that a single hat trick could redraw the leaderboard. Check back after every matchday — the table updates automatically.
Golden Boot history
The Premier League Golden Boot has been won by some of the competition’s defining players. Thierry Henry and Mohamed Salah share the record for the most Golden Boot awards, with four each. Henry’s were spread across Arsenal’s early-2000s peak; Salah’s came in bursts at Liverpool, including a record-setting 32-goal season in 2017-18.
The single-season record under the current 38-game format belongs to Erling Haaland, who scored 36 league goals for Manchester City in 2022-23 — a mark that may stand for a long time. Over the full history of the competition, Alan Shearer holds the all-time record with 260 Premier League goals, a total built across 14 seasons at Blackburn and Newcastle.
This season’s winner will join that lineage. The live table above tracks where the race stands right now.
