Why this edition is different
- 70th edition of the award created by France Football in 1956.
- First ceremony outside Paris: London was chosen in tribute to the first winner, England’s Stanley Matthews.
- Voting period: men’s awards cover 3 August 2025 to 19 July 2026 (the 2026 World Cup final); women’s awards run to 16 August 2026.
- Holders: Ousmane Dembélé (men, 2025) is nominated again; Aitana Bonmatí, women’s winner in 2023, 2024 and 2025, is not on this year’s list after missing most of the season with a broken leg (ESPN).
