Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have been named Men’s Club of the Year at the 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony in London, securing the award for the second consecutive year.

The French champions received the honour following another successful campaign under head coach Luis Enrique, during which they defended their UEFA Champions League title and continued their dominance of French football.

PSG emerged victorious from a five-club shortlist that included Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Flamengo and Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt.

French international Ousmane Dembélé, who won the 2025 Ballon d’Or, collected the award on behalf of the Parisian club.

PSG Add to Their Trophy Collection

The latest recognition follows another successful period for PSG, who collected several major trophies over the past year.

Alongside winning consecutive Champions League titles, the French club secured the 2025–26 Ligue 1 championship, the FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the UEFA Super Cup.

The defender finished 13th in the 2026 Ballon d’Or rankings, following his sixth-place finish in the previous edition.

Other PSG nominees included Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, Joao Neves and Vitinha.
