He played four times during Hungary's UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, including starting both legs of the play-off with Norway, which saw the Magyars qualify for their first major tournament finals in 30 years and their first European Championship since UEFA Euro 1972.[15][16][17]

On 27 August 2024, Marco Rossi, the head coach of the national team, announced the squad for the matches of the 2024–25 UEFA Nations League against Germany and Bosnia and Hercegovina and Lang was not included.[31] One possible reason for his omission was that Lang did not play in his club.[32]
