2025 Ballon d'Or: nominees and where to watch | OneFootball

The 69th edition of the Ballon d'Or will take place this Monday, September 22, at the Théâtre du Châtelet in central Paris. Alexis Mac Allister ranked 22nd and Lautaro Martínez 20th. Dibu Martínez will compete for the Yashin trophy.

Although tradition usually dictates that the awards gala takes place in October, the magazine France Football has decided to move the ceremony forward by a month. In addition to the iconic trophy for both the men's and women's categories, other awards such as the Kopa, for the best under-21 player, will also be presented. Here are all the details: nominees, time, where to watch live, and more.

While various prestigious distinctions are awarded, as always, the highlight of the day is the award for the best player in the world. In the men's category, we are facing one of the most exciting years as there is great unpredictability about the winner: Dembélé, Lamine Yamal, Mbappé, Vitinha are the standout figures who undoubtedly have an advantage, but the winner is truly a mystery.

As for the women's category, Spain once again dominates the list of favorites. Alexia Putellas, winner of two consecutive awards in 2021 and 2022, Aitana Bonmatí, who reached glory in 2023 and 2024, along with Mariona Caldentey, are the top candidates.
