How do I take part in the Ballon d'Or 2026 predictions?

To take part, open the Ballon d’Or 2026 banner at the top of Explore, then pick who finishes 1st, 2nd and 3rd among the 30 official nominees. Entry is free. Tap a nominee to add him to your podium, drag the names into the order you want, then submit. You get one prediction per player.

The contest page is at /picks/ballon-dor-2026 in the Playbox app. Voting closes on 26 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC, before the ceremony, so submit before then. The live results are public from the start: each nominee shows the share of all predictions that have him in the top 3, and how those split between 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. The contest is not available in the Russian (Fantasista) app.
