The Ballon d'Or 2024 will take place next Monday in Paris.
What is expected to be a prestigious event in the French capital will crown the world's best players of the past season, as well as awards for the best coaches in men's and women's football, as well as the prestigious Kopa trophy for the best young player good
The men's top prize was won by Lionel Messi the year before, but despite Argentina helping his country win the Copa America, one season spent in MLS was not enough to earn a nomination. Cristiano Ronaldo is also missing from the shortlist, marking the end of an incredible 20-year streak.
Favorites for this year's award include Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior and teammate Jude Bellingham, while Barcelona's Femen and Spanish sensation Aitana Bonmati are backed to win a second consecutive women's award. Below are details on when the ceremony will start, when we're likely to see a winner crowned, and how you can watch it in the UK.
What time will the 2024 Ballon d'Or ceremony take place?
The Ballon d'Or ceremony is scheduled for 8:45 pm local time in Paris, France on Monday, October 28. This means it will start at 7.45 pm for UK viewers.
The men's top prize is traditionally the last to be handed out during the gala, so we should know the winner around 21:15 GMT, based on last year.
