In February 2019, while he does not speak Hungarian, Négo acquired Hungarian citizenship via naturalization.[15] On 8 October 2020, he debuted for the Hungary national team against Bulgaria in the play-offs of Euro 2020.[16] On 12 November 2020, he scored his first goal for Hungary against Iceland in the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying play-offs at the Puskás Aréna. Just two minutes after his goal, Dominik Szoboszlai scored another one, enabling Hungary to take the lead and eventually win 2–1 against Iceland, qualifying for the UEFA Euro 2020.[17]

On 1 June 2021, Négo was included in the final 26-man squad to represent Hungary at the rescheduled UEFA Euro 2020 tournament.[18] In the team's opening match against Portugal, he came on as a 65th minute substitute for András Schäfer.[19] He went on to start the second game against his birth nation France[20] and the third match against Germany.[21]

On 14 May 2024, Négo was named in Hungary's squad for UEFA Euro 2024.[22] He was an unused substitute in all three of the team's matches as Hungary finished third in Group A.[23]

In an interview regarding his decision to play for Hungary with Nemzeti Sport, Négo stated that France was "his home country, while Hungary was home".[25]

The Hungarian football fans gave Négo the Hungarian nickname "Lajos", which approximates his first name, Loïc.[26]
