International career Mihalík was an important part of Slovakia's squad at the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, where Mihalík scored Slovakia's second goal in the final group stage match against Sweden, contributing to a 3–0 victory. He was in the starting line-up of all three games of Slovakia in the group stage.

He regained the spot in the national team in the second nomination of the new Czech-born coach Pavel Hapal, in the March 2019 squad for a double UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying fixture against Hungary and Wales. In June's friendly fixture, on 7 June 2019, against Jordan, Mihalík scored his first international goal for the senior team at Štadión Antona Malatinského in Trnava.

Mihalík scored Slovakia's last goal in the 84th minute, after a pass by a former team-mate from MŠK Žilina, László Bénes. Mihalík however did not appear 4 days later in Baku, in a qualifier against Azerbaijan (5–1 win).
