2026 Ballon d’Or: Thierry Henry Set for a First in London

Thierry Henry will present the 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony alongside Kate Scott, both of whom work for CBS Sports. Organizers announced the appointment on October 19; Henry will follow previous presenters Ruud Gullit and Didier Drogba. The ceremony takes place in London on October 26, a city where Henry is an Arsenal legend and has a statue at the Emirates Stadium. He will announce the successor to Ousmane Dembélé in an edition with no clear favorite.
