Harry Kane has been named the 2026 men’s Ballon d’Or winner.
The English striker beat Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappe to claim his first-ever Ballon d’Or at the Palladium Theatre in London, UK, on Monday.
He became the first English player to win the prize since Michael Owen in 2001.
The 33-year-old scored 73 goals for both clubs and country in the 2025/26 season. His goals helped Bayern Munich win the German Bundesliga and reach the UEFA Champions League (UCL) semi-finals.
He also captained the English national team to the bronze medal at the 2026 World Cup in North America.
