Private concierge for the Ballon d’Or 2026London Palladium — Monday 26 October 2026
For its 70th edition, the Ballon d’Or leaves Paris: the ceremony is held in London for the first time, at the London Palladium, on Monday 26 October 2026 at 8pm. AC PRIVATE - A List concierge orchestrates everything around the evening: suite, chauffeur, attire, tables and after-party.
Created in 1956 by France Football and co-organised with UEFA, the Ballon d’Or celebrates its 70th anniversary in London, in tribute to Sir Stanley Matthews, the very first winner. The London Palladium, a historic West End venue, welcomes players, coaches, executives and personalities for the most scrutinised night in world football.
Invitations remain solely at the organisers’ discretion. For guests, club delegations, brands and talent, we compose the complete London stay: a Mayfair suite, a dedicated chauffeur, black-tie fitting, hair and make-up, a private dinner and tables for the after-party.
