Extra viewing tips

  • Check the exact local start time the day before, since listings sometimes show red-carpet vs ceremony start separately.
  • If using a streaming app (Paramount+, SonyLIV, DAZN, beIN, etc.), make sure your subscription is active and app updated.
  • For the latest last‑minute info, keep an eye on the official Ballon d’Or and UEFA pages or their social channels on the day of the event.
