Doku was born in Belgium and is of Ghanaian descent (from Ghana).[8] Doku represented the Belgium U17s at the 2018 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[9]

He made his first appearance for the Belgian national team on 5 September 2020 against Denmark in the UEFA Nations League. Three days later, he scored his first goal for the Belgian national team in a 5–1 win against Iceland.[10]

In the UEFA Euro 2020, held in June 2021, Doku was one of the substitutes for the Belgian national team in their group stage match against Denmark, and was included in the starting line-up for the subsequent game against Finland; he was again named to the starting 11 for Belgium's quarter-final loss against Italy.
