2026 Ballon d’Or LIVE: Harry Kane among the favourites to win

Bayern Munich star Harry Kane is among the leading contenders for the 2026 Ballon d'Or, alongside Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappé. Follow all the action from the ceremony live here.

 



The start of the Ballon d'Or ceremony has been pushed back by 30 minutes to 21:30 CET (20:30 UK time) due to traffic in London.



The 11th to 30th places in the rankings have already been announced, with two Bayern Munich players making the list. Dayot Upamecano finished 26th, while Luis Díaz claimed 24th place.


Alongside Kane and Olise, the other eight players still in contention for the men’s individual award are Erling Haaland, Fabian Ruiz, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Lamine Yamal, Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi, Rodri and Ousmane Dembélé.


Speaking to DAZN, Harry Kane admitted he was feeling "a little nervous", while acknowledging that the outcome is now out of his hands. "It will be a special night if it goes my way. It’d be an incredibly proud moment if I do achieve it," he said.


Harry Kane and Michael Olise, both confirmed in the top 10 of the rankings, have just arrived alongside the rest of the Bayern Munich delegation.
