Harry Kane was named 2026 Ballon d'Or winner at a London ceremony on October 26, 2026, defeating Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal after scoring 73 goals for club and country in the 2025/26 season.

The award is likely to elevate Kane's global commercial profile and reinforce England's presence among top-tier individual football honours.
