List of Major League Soccer hat-tricks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The first hat-trick, a player scoring three goals in a game, in Major League Soccer, was scored by Steve Rammel of D.C. United in their 5–2 win at the Columbus Crew on May 15, 1996.[1]

Clint Mathis scored an MLS record five goals in a game in 2000.
Josef Martínez has scored an MLS record seven hat-tricks.

The league's fastest hat-trick was scored in under five minutes by Harut Karapetyan of the LA Galaxy on June 4, 1998, in an 8–1 win at the Dallas Burn.[2] The fastest hat-trick from the start of a game was scored by Hany Mukhtar of Nashville SC, who recorded three goals in the opening 16 minutes of a 5–1 victory against Chicago Fire FC on July 18, 2021 (the goals all came in a six-minute window). Clint Mathis scored the most goals in a game, when he scored five, on August 26, 2000, in a 6–4 MetroStars win over the Burn.[3] The youngest player to score a hat-trick was Julian Hall, aged 18 years and 50 days old when he scored three for the New York Red Bulls in a 3–2 win against the Columbus Crew on May 13, 2026.[4]

Roy Lassiter scored hat-tricks for the Tampa Bay Mutiny[1] and D.C. United.[5] Dante Washington scored hat-tricks for the Burn[6] and the Crew.[7] Mamadou Diallo scored three hat-tricks for the Mutiny[8][9][10] and another for the MetroStars,[11] twice scoring four goals in a game.
