Harry Kane has won the 2026 Ballon d'Or, securing football's most coveted individual award. The England captain's triumph came at Monday's ceremony on October 26, following an exceptional season with Bayern Munich and his national team.

Kane's success caps a remarkable career trajectory. The striker has established himself as one of the world's finest forwards, combining ruthless finishing with an ability to set up goals for teammates.

The Bayern Munich forward beat strong competition from Paris Saint-Germain's Ousmane Dembélé, Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé and Barcelona's emerging talent Lamine Yamal. France Football, which organises the award, assesses performances across the specified period to select the winner.

This accolade represents another milestone for Kane, who holds England's record for international goals and ranks among Europe's most prolific strikers. His performances in the Bundesliga and at international level earned him the honour this year.
