Ballon d’Or: List of All Winners After Kane’s Triumph

Harry Kane, Bayern Munich and England striker, won the 2026 Ballon d’Or at a ceremony in London on Monday night. The 33-year-old finished ahead of Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappé and Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal after scoring 73 goals for club and country during the 2025/26 campaign. The winners’ roll call begins with Stanley Matthews in 1956 and includes multiple honors for players such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Johan Cruyff. The award was not presented in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
