Harry Kane leads race for 2026 Ballon d’Or award in England
England captain Harry Kane is the favourite to win the 2026 Ballon d'Or at a ceremony hosted Monday in London.
Kane leads the favourites list
Harry Kane has struck 73 goals across 65 games for Bayern Munich and England last season. This performance makes him the top contender among Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal. The award ceremony will take place in London to honour Stanley Matthews.
England hosts the event
This marks the first time the 70th edition of the France Football award is held in England. Organisers hope an English winner might be crowned for the first time in 25 years. The competition remains wide open despite Kane leading the pack.
