Lamin Yamal Favored to Win 2026 Ballon d’Or, Sources Say
On October 26, the winner of the 2026 Ballon d’Or will be announced. However, reports indicate that the voting has already concluded, with the organizers choosing to keep the results confidential for now.
In previous years, the winner was informed of the outcome in advance, allowing for an immediate post-ceremony interview and photo spread in the magazine.
Experts at Polymarket have recently updated their predictions for the Ballon d’Or recipient. Leading the race is Lamine Yamal with a 45% chance, closely followed by Harry Kane at 42%.
To recall, the 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony is scheduled to take place in London on October 26.
