Coman featured for the Romania national under-21 team in the 2019 UEFA European Championship, mostly as a second-half substitute. In the group fixture on 21 June, he entered in the 63rd minute for Andrei Ivan, obtained a penalty, and scored a double to help to a 4–2 victory against England. He then earned his first and only start in a goalless draw with France, with both teams progressing to the semi-finals, where Romania suffered a 2–4 defeat to Germany.

Coman made his full debut for Romania on 12 October 2019, starting in a Euro 2020 qualifier against the Faroe Islands. He was replaced after 69 minutes by Alexandru Mitriță in the eventual 3–0 away victory of his nation. On 15 October 2023, Coman scored his first senior international goal in a 4–0 Euro 2024 qualifier win against Andorra. He amassed seven appearances in the competition, including a start in the final 1–0 victory over Switzerland, which secured Romania first place in Group I. On 7 June 2024, Coman was selected in the squad for Euro 2024. He started in the opening group match against Ukraine, contributing to a 3–0 win that marked his nation's first European Championship victory in 24 years. He was an unused substitute in the 0–2 loss to Belgium, then started again in the 1–1 draw with Slovakia, as Romania topped its group. Coman missed the 0–3 loss to the Netherlands in the round of 16 due to a muscular injury.

Coman is typically deployed as a left winger and has been praised for his pace and technical ability.

Coman was born in the city of Brăila and grew up as a Dinamo București supporter. His first coach, Nicușor Baldovin, stated that after Dinamo won the 2006–07 league championship, Coman was trying to emulate Claudiu Niculescu's free kicks.
