2026 Ballon d'Or Feminin final rankings: How the top players finished from 1-30

The top individual award in women's soccer was given out Monday, Oct. 26 with the Ballon d'Or Femenin awarded to Spain international Alexia Putellas.

It is the third time Putellas, who moved to the London City Lions this summer but earned the award thanks to her exploits with FC Barcelona, has earned the prize.

A voting panel made up of soccer journalists from the top 100 countries in the FIFA rankings ranked players 1-10, meaning there were dozens of players who got at least a nod.

Putellas beat out FC Barcelona teammate Ewa Pajor, who finished second, and Jamaica international Khadija "Bunny" Shaw, who helped Manchester City to a title in the Women's Super League in England.

Here are the full rankings for the top individual women in the world:
