The 2026 Ballon d'Or ceremony takes place at the London Palladium in Soho on Monday evening.
It's the first time the event will be staged outside of Paris, marking the award's 70th edition.
England has been selected as the host country to commemorate the first winner of the famous award, Sir Stanley Matthews.
While the Ballon d'Or is the headline award being dished out on Monday, there are 12 other honours up for grabs, including the Ballon d'Or Feminin and Kopa Trophy.
What time is the 2026 Ballon d'Or ceremony?
Players are scheduled to arrive at 18:00 GMT, with the ceremony getting underway at 20:00 GMT.
Arsenal and France legend Thierry Henry -- who finished as Ballon d'Or runner-up in 2004 -- will host the awards, alongside sports presenter Kate Scott.
Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe and Lamine Yamal are among the favourites to scoop the award this year; Kane potentially becoming the first Englishman to win the award since Michael Owen in 2001 and just fifth ever.
Matthews won the inaugural prize in 1956, Manchester United legend Bobby Charlton was victorious in 1966 and Kevin Keegan went back-to-back in 1978 & 1979 following his move to German giants Hamburg.
