Football’s most coveted individual prizes will be handed out on Monday, October 28, when the Ballon d’Or ceremony takes place in Paris.
The Theatre du Chatelet will be the venue, with a new winner of the men’s award guaranteed to be crowned this year.
With neither Lionel Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo on the 30-man shortlist, Jude Bellingham, Rodri and Vincius Jr. are among the favourites to scoop the golden ball.
In the women’s category, Aitana Bonmati, Caroline Graham Hansen, Mallory Swanson, Salma Paralluelo and Ada Hegerberg are holding hopes of victory.
The Kopa Trophy for best men’s under-21 player and Yashin Trophy for best goalkeeper in both the men’s and women’s games will also be handed out, as will Club and Coach of the Year awards.
It promises to be an unmissable evening of celebrating the beautiful game, so how can you watch the ceremony and what time is it?
