Football is a team sport but players are lying if they tell you they don't care about awards that recognise their individual achievements – and there is one award that stands above the rest.
England captain Harry Kane is in the running to get his hands on the famous trophy this evening. Should the Bayern Munich striker live up to his tag as bookies' favourite, he will become just the fifth Englishman to win the award and the first since Michael Owen in 2001.
Both the men's and women's races are hotly contested this year so when will we find out who can be considered top of the pile?
The Ballon d'Or 2026 ceremony will take place on Monday 26 October 2026.
