The 10 Best-Selling MLS Jerseys of 2026, Ranked From 10 to 1

MLS just released its official ranking of the best-selling player jerseys of 2026. The list covers sales on MLSstore.com from January 1 to October 30, and it is dominated by the league’s biggest international names — with one teenage American breaking through.

Messi finished first for the fourth straight year. Son Heung-Min and Thomas Müller rounded out the podium. Summer arrivals Robert Lewandowski and Antoine Griezmann both cracked the top five despite joining mid-season.

Here’s the full ranking from 10 to 1, with the two best places to buy each jersey right now.

10. Rodrigo De Paul – Inter Miami CF

Best for: Miami fans who already own a Messi shirt

De Paul has become one of the more consistent performers on a star-heavy Inter Miami squad. His jersey landing in the top 10 shows how much demand still exists for the entire Miami roster, not just Messi.

Why buy it? A solid secondary Miami option that still feels current. Perfect if you want another pink kit without defaulting to Messi again.

9. Hany Mukhtar – Nashville SC

Best for: Nashville fans and Supporters’ Shield collectors

Mukhtar has been the face of Nashville for years. His ranking reflects both his on-field consistency and the club’s growing national profile after winning the Supporters’ Shield.

Why buy it? One of the cleaner, more understated options in the top 10. A strong pick if you want something that isn’t from Miami or LA.

8. Luis Suárez – Inter Miami CF

Best for: Fans who want a classic striker name on the back

Even at this stage of his career, Suárez still sells. Pairing him with Messi continues to drive interest in the Inter Miami kit.

Why buy it? The classic supporting-cast purchase. Still carries real weight for anyone who grew up watching him in Europe.

7. Denis Bouanga – LAFC

Best for: LAFC fans who prefer someone other than Son

Bouanga has been one of the most reliable goal scorers in MLS for multiple seasons. His ranking reflects sustained production rather than a one-off surge.

Why buy it? The clear alternative to Son if you want an LAFC shirt. Consistent scorer with real longevity in the league.

6. Cavan Sullivan – Philadelphia Union

Best for: Getting in early on a future USMNT regular

The only American in the top 10, and the only teenager. Sullivan’s breakout season for both Philadelphia and the national team pushed his jersey into the conversation. At 17, he’s already outselling several established internationals.

Why buy it? The smartest long-term buy on the list. If he continues on this trajectory, this jersey will look very good in a few years.

5. Antoine Griezmann – Orlando City SC

Best for: Immediate impact signings

Griezmann arrived mid-season and still finished fifth overall. That kind of commercial impact is rare. Orlando fans bought into the signing quickly.

Why buy it? One of the freshest high-profile options in the league right now. A World Cup winner on the back of a purple kit.

4. Robert Lewandowski – Chicago Fire FC

Best for: The most impressive relative ranking on the list

Lewandowski joined in June and still finished fourth for the full season. Even more notably, his jersey has been the best-selling in the entire league since he arrived.

Why buy it? One of the biggest names to ever play in MLS, and the demand proves it. Strong commercial performance despite the late arrival.

3. Thomas Müller – Vancouver Whitecaps FC

Best for: German fans and Vancouver supporters

Müller has been a steady presence in Vancouver and his jersey continues to sell well even without the same level of individual hype as some of the newer arrivals.

Why buy it? A World Cup winner on a Canadian club. Clean option if you want something outside of Miami or LA.

2. Son Heung-Min – LAFC

Best for: The best non-Messi option on the list

Son’s move to LAFC has been one of the cleaner success stories of the past two seasons, and the jersey sales reflect that. He sits second only to Messi and has established himself as the clear commercial face of LAFC.

Why buy it? The strongest high-profile alternative to Messi. If you want a current star jersey that isn’t pink, this is the one.

1. Lionel Messi – Inter Miami CF

Best for: Anyone who wants the safest commercial bet in MLS

Messi finished first for the fourth consecutive year. No one else is close. His jersey remains the default purchase for a large portion of MLS fans, and the gap between him and everyone else continues to be significant.

Why buy it? As long as he’s playing, this ranking is unlikely to change. The most reliable jersey to own in the league right now.
