🏆 26 October in London, the 2026 Ballon d'Or gala has a date and venue | OneFootball

The prestigious Ballon d'Or gala, the most important individual award in the world of football, already has an official date and venue for its next ceremony.

The event will take place on October 26 in London, marking a historic milestone for the award.

This edition will be especially significant, as the trophy created by France Football magazine in 1956 will celebrate its 70th anniversary.

For the first time in history, the capital of England and the United Kingdom will host the iconic awards ceremony.

Tribute to a legend

The choice of London as the host city is no coincidence. Co-organized with UEFA since 2024, the event will pay an emotional tribute to legendary English footballer Stanley Matthews. The iconic winger was the first winner of this award exactly seven decades ago.
