Ballon d'Or 2026

How the Ballon d'Or Ranker works

Thirty nominees. Pick your top 10 in order before the ceremony at the London Palladium on Monday 26 October 2026, the first Ballon d'Or held outside Paris. Tap a player to add him, use the arrows to reorder, then lock it in and share it.

After the ceremony every ranking is scored: 10 points for each player in the exact position, 5 if he is one place out, 2 if he made the top 10 at all, and a 25-point bonus for naming the winner.

The nominees

Harry Kane goes in as favourite after 61 goals and a domestic treble with Bayern. Mbappé, Lamine Yamal, Rodri and Messi are all on the list, along with seven Paris Saint-Germain players and three from Arsenal.
