The organizers of the Ballon d’Or have confirmed that the 2026 edition will be hosted in London, UK.
The 70th edition of award ceremony has been fixed for October 26, 2026.
As the European football season draws to a close, and with the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the horizon, fans and pundits will be watching to see who succeeds 2025 winner Ousmane Dembele.
Dembele is one of the top favourites for the prize, with Paris Saint-Germain set to play Arsenal in the Champions League final this weekend.
PSG have already clinched the Ligue 1 title.
Dembele’s team-mate, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, is another hot contender for the award.
Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane saw his odds drop after their elimination from the Champions League semi-final, while Kylian Mbappe of Real Madrid is still in the running.
