Probability

63%

Harry Kane scored over 72 goals in the 2025/26 season — a historically extraordinary haul, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo's record season (65 goals, 2011/12). Polymarket prices Kane as the clear favourite at ~55% (as of approx. 17 September 2026), ahead of Kylian Mbappé, Lamine Yamal, and Rodri. The 2026 Ballon d'Or will be awarded for the first time in London (London Palladium, 26 October 2026). Counterargument: the award also considers team achievements (Champions League, domestic title); if Bayern Munich won neither, candidates from trophy-winning clubs could close the gap. Calibration: Polymarket ~55%; raised to 63% due to Kane's statistical dominance in the season.
