Ballon d'Or 2026 LIVE — Kane, Messi and Mbappe in race for trophy; latest rankings
The Ballon d’Or Award for 2026 is set to be announced in London on October 26 in England. The ceremony moves from its traditional home in Paris to London to mark its 70th anniversary.
Ten main categories will have awards handed out at the star-studded ceremony, including the best male and female players, young player, goalkeeper, top scorer, and coach.
Among last year’s winners, Ousmane Dembele, the best male player last year, has made it to the 30-man shortlist, while Aitana Bonmati, the Women’s Ballon d’Or winner last year, did not make the cut this time around.
