One of the biggest nights in global soccer is almost here. On Oct. 26 at the London Palladium, the most esteemed names from around the world will gather for the 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony.
The last three years have been ruled by one player: Aitana Bonmatí. However, with the 28-year-old missing the second half of the 2025-26 season due to a leg injury, she has not been nominated for this year’s prize.
