Ballon d'Or Winner 2026?

The 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony is scheduled for October 26 in London, with the nominees to be announced later in the award cycle. The season’s major influence included the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where Kylian Mbappé’s France reached the bronze-medal match and Michael Olise drew attention during the tournament build-up, while Ousmane Dembélé entered the year as the reigning men’s Ballon d’Or winner. Club success, World Cup performance and the eventual nominee list therefore leave several established contenders in contention.

This poll group resolves according to the final official result of Ballon d'Or Winner 2026. Exactly one poll resolves YES: the poll naming the officially declared winner or outcome; all remaining named polls resolve NO. UEFA, France Football and UEFA, and Le Monde are the authoritative external resolution sources; forecasts, displayed probabilities, and commentary do not settle a poll. Schedule changes do not alter the outcome set. The governing body's final official record determines the result once the competition is completed and an official result is declared. Formal corrections supersede earlier records. If authoritative sources conflict or remain materially ambiguous, the affected poll remains pending for review. The expected evaluation time is 2026-10-31T00:00:00.000Z UTC. The listed Other? poll is an actual binary poll. It resolves YES only when the official winner or categorical outcome is not named by another poll.
