Ballon d'Or 2025: Date, Time, Live Streaming, List Of Nominees And Here's All You Need To Know

Ballon d'Or 2025: A few hours left before the start of the most iconic award ceremony in the history of football, the Ballon d’Or. The stage is set in Paris to host the 69th edition of the Ballon d’Or awards.

Earlier, the France Football magazine named the nominations for all the award categories. In the best footballer (male) category, Ousmane Dembele will have a great chance to win the prestigious award after his magnificent performance in the previous 2024-2025 season. With Paris-Saint Germain, Dembele won the UEFA Champions League, Coupe de France, Ligue 1, and many others. Dembele played 49 matches for the Paris-based club in the 2024-2025 season, scoring 33 goals and making 13 assists.

PSG players will not be attending the prestigious event because of their upcoming Ligue 1 clash against Marseille on Monday, the same day when the Ballon d'Or is set to take place in Paris.

However, Ousmane Dembele is likely to attend the Ballon d'Or ceremony in Paris since he hasn't been involved in any kind of football activities in the ongoing season and has been recuperating from a hamstring injury, for which he has been kept out of PSG's squad for their upcoming clash.

On the other hand, FC Barcelona prodigy, Lamine Yamal, will also have an edge to get his hands on the Golden Ball. The youngster became a big name in the football world after his stupendous performance in the 2024-2025 season. Yamal won La Liga and the Copa Del Rey with FC Barcelona in the 2024-2025 season. The youngster played 109 matches for Barcelona, netting 27 goals. In the previous 2024-2025 season, he scored 18 goals and made 21 assists after appearing in 55 games.

According to many media reports, Real Madrid will once again snub the upcoming Ballon d’Or 2025 award ceremony. Last year, in 2024, Los Blancos skipped the event after Vinicius Junior did not win the best player (male) award.

The Ballon d'Or 2025 is scheduled to take place on Monday, September 22, at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, France. The event will begin at 12:30 AM IST.
