2026 Ballon d’Or: Thierry Henry confirmed as co-host

Thierry Henry will co-host the 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony with Kate Scott, who has presented the event at least three times. The ceremony is scheduled for Monday, October 26, in London, United Kingdom. The former Arsenal captain was nominated nine times but never won the award; his best result came in 2003, when he finished second to Pavel Nedvěd. The Ballon d’Or goes to the player who receives the most points from an international jury of journalists.
