On May 20, 2013, Sorto was named to the 22-man squad for the 2013 Toulon Tournament[5] where he would make one appearance for the U.S. under-20 national team on June 5 in a 1–0 loss to South Korea.[6] Two days later, Sorto was named to the 21-man squad for the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey where he made two appearances, one against France and one against Ghana.[7]

He is also eligible to represent El Salvador due to having Salvadoran-born parents and was called up to represent El Salvador for the first time on September 29, 2017.[8]
