Ballon d'Or 2025: Live Streaming, Where To Watch In India, Start Time, What To Expect And More

The 2025 Ballon d’Or awards, one of the most prestigious accolades in football, will take place in Paris on Sept. 23. The star-studded event will hand out awards to the best players, goalkeepers, young stars, top scorers and coaches from both men’s and women’s football.

For the first time, the number of awards will be the same for men and women, celebrating talent equally on both sides.

Additionally, a new humanitarian award known as the Socrates Award will also be presented.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward Ousmane Dembele is among the favourites to win this year’s Ballon d’Or, though he is likely to face stiff competition from Barcelona's teenage sensation Lamine Yamal. However, media reports suggest that Dembele may miss the ceremony as PSG's Ligue 1 fixture against Marseille is scheduled at 11:30 p.m. IST on Sept. 22. 

The Ballon d'Or 2025 awards ceremony is scheduled at 12:30 a.m. IST on Sept. 23, Tuesday.
