The 2026 Ballon d'Or ceremony will be held in London instead of its traditional Paris venue for the first time in 70 years. This one-off move honors the award's 70th anniversary and pays tribute to Sir Stanley Matthews, the first-ever winner in 1956. The decision reflects the wide-open competition among elite football players this year, with no clear favorite emerging.
