India, Oct. 26 -- Harry Kane, Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappe are the leading contenders for the 2026 Men's Ballon d'Or, with the winner set to be announced at the ceremony in London on October 26. Kane enters the final stretch as the bookmakers' favourite after a remarkable goal-scoring campaign for Bayern Munich and England. However, Yamal's World Cup triumph with the Spain national football team and Mbappe's prolific finishing make the race far from straightforward.

The 70th edition of football's most prestigious individual award will take place at the London Palladium. The voting period covers performances from August 3, 2025, to July 19, 2026, including club football and international competitions.
