Thierry Henry to host Ballon d'Or ceremony

French football legend Thierry Henry will co-host the 2026 Ballon d'Or ceremony alongside sports presenter Kate Scott, who has hosted the event three times previously. The ceremony will take place for the first time in London, at the London Palladium Theatre, on October 26 at 8 p.m. GMT. Henry, who was never awarded the Ballon d'Or during his career despite nine nominations, came closest in 2003 when he finished second to Pavel Nedvěd.
