The 69th edition of the Ballon d'Or will take place this Monday, September 22, at the Théâtre du Châtelet in central Paris, where Alexis Mac Allister and Lautaro Martínez will compete for the award for best player, while Dibu Martínez will vie for the Yashin Trophy.

Although tradition usually dictates that the awards ceremony is held in October, France Football magazine has decided to bring the event forward by a month. In addition to the iconic trophy for both the men's and women's categories, other prizes will also be awarded, such as the Kopa Trophy for the best under-21 player. Below, find all the details: nominees, time, where to watch live, and more.

While several highly prestigious distinctions are handed out, as always, the highlight of the day is the award for the best player in the world. In the men’s category, this is one of the most exciting years, as the winner is highly unpredictable: Dembélé, Lamine Yamal, Mbappé, Vitinha, and Haaland are the big names who undoubtedly have an edge, but the winner remains a real 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, and Mariona Caldentey are the top contenders.
