Arsenal and France star Thierry Henry will host this year’s Ballon d’Or ceremony alongside Kate Scott, an international sports presenter.
This year’s Ballon d’Or will be staged in London on Monday, October 26.
“I’m honoured to be hosting this year’s Ballon d’Or,” Henry said.
“London is the city I call home, and I have a deep connection to its football culture and the passionate fans here, so to be hosting here alongside my friend and colleague Kate feels like a natural fit.
“It promises to be a brilliant evening celebrating the very best of the game.”
Scott previously hosted the 2014 and 2015 editions of the awards, before she co-hosted the 2025 edition with Ruud Gullit.
