What this timeline measures
Men’s Ballon d’Or and FIFA Ballon d’Or wins through the latest completed edition, 2025. These are individual awards, not team trophies. No Ballon d’Or was awarded in 2020.
Between 2008 and 2025, 17 awards were presented. Messi and Ronaldo won 13. The 2026 ceremony has not taken place at this snapshot date, so no 2026 winner is assumed.
