Harry Kane, the Bayern Munich striker, has been awarded the 2026 Ballon d’Or, becoming the fourth Bayern player to achieve this honor, following Gerd Müller, Franz Beckenbauer, and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. In the 2025/26 season, Kane scored an impressive 73 goals in 65 appearances for Bayern Munich and the England national team. His contributions helped Die Roten secure the Bundesliga-Germany title, the DFB-Pokal-Germany, and the German Supercup-Germany. Kane is the first Englishman to win the award since Michael Owen in 2001. He also scored six goals for England at the recent FIFA World Cup-International, where they were eliminated by Argentina in the semifinals. Prior to Bayern, Kane spent much of his career at Tottenham Hotspur, becoming their all-time leading scorer with 280 goals. He transferred to Bayern Munich in 2023, winning two Bundesliga-Germany titles, one DFB-Pokal-Germany, and one DFL-Supercup-Germany.
