International career
Youth career, senior debut, and 2020 Summer Olympics
Soon after debuting for Argentinos, Mac Allister received a call-up from Claudio Úbeda for the Argentina under-20s. He was selected for the senior team for the first time in August 2019, ahead of friendlies in the United States in September versus Chile and Mexico. His international bow arrived in the match with Chile at the Los Angeles Coliseum on 5 September.
Recall into senior squad, World Cup winner and tournament successes
Mac Allister was recalled to the Argentina national team's senior squad in January 2022 after two and a half years since his first two caps. However, he tested positive for COVID-19 and missed Argentina's 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Chile. He eventually made his first appearance for the national team for almost three years when he started in the 3–0 home win over Venezuela on 25 March. Five days later, in the draw with Ecuador he was forced off injured after being the victim of a knee-high challenge. Due to the subsequent injury, he was returned to Brighton ahead of their next fixture. On 1 June, Mac Allister was an unused substitute as Argentina beat Italy 3–0 in the 2022 Finalissima held at Wembley Stadium.
