The 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony is upon us, and there’s a distinct sense of intrigue surrounding the men’s award.

There was a mini-stunner last year, as Manchester City and Spain midfielder Rodri pipped the favored Vinícius Júnior to the post. So outraged, Real Madrid opted to boycott the ceremony in protest, and a decision supposedly hasn’t been made as to whether any of their representatives will attend this year.

With Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo drifting out of mainstream prominence, the Ballon d’Or is poised to return to a familiar era of variety. There’s set to be a third new winner in four years on Monday night after Messi and Ronaldo combined for 12 of the 13 successes between 2008 and 2021.

And, of course, UEFA don’t want you missing out on the evening’s event. Streaming avenues for the 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony are accessible around the globe, and here’s how you can watch a potentially dramatic night unfold.
