The debateFrance Football awards the 2026 Ballon d'Or on Monday 26 October in London. 100 journalists from 100 countries vote; they cast their ballots at the end of September, and since 2024 the magazine has not told the winner before the ceremony, according to El Debate. Lamine Yamal, Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappé are the main contenders. Kane scored 73 goals in 65 games for Bayern and England in 2025-26, won the German double and England finished third at the World Cup, according to Sports Illustrated. Voters consulted by Cadena SER always put Kane and Lamine on the podium and point to Mbappé's lack of trophies with Real Madrid or France as his weak spot. Flick says Lamine is "right now" the best player in the world.
