On 5 October 2023, Kobel signed new long term deal at Borussia Dortmund valid until June 2028. In the 2023–24 Champions League, he played a crucial role in reaching the final with his club, becoming the first Swiss goalkeeper to achieve this feat.

Kobel was a youth international for Switzerland. He was called up to the senior team for the first time in 2020.

He made his debut on 1 September 2021 in a friendly against Greece, a 2–1 victory at home.

He was part of the Swiss squad at the 2022 FIFA World Cup with the national team coach Murat Yakin, but only played in the last matchday against Serbia, replacing the injured Yann Sommer, which they won 3–2. Having not played a single game in UEFA Euro 2024, he became the starter goalkeeper after the latter's retirement from the national team.
