The Ballon d'Or 2020 ceremony was canceled and never held due to the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on the football season, making it impossible to fairly judge the year's football performances. The award was not presented for the first time since its inception in 1956. In contrast, the upcoming Ballon d'Or 2025 ceremony is scheduled for Monday, September 22, 2025, at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, France.
