How to watch the Ballon d’Or 2023 - free live stream details and TV channel, start time, nominees

The Ballon d’Or 2023 promises to be a star-studded celebration of one of the most memorable seasons in football history, and you can watch it all unfold via a free live stream on TNTsports.co.uk.

Lionel Messi is the leading contender for the men’s award after crowning his glittering career with a World Cup triumph in Qatar in December - although Erling Haaland is his closest rival having scored 52 goals in all competitions as Manchester City claimed a historic treble.

In the women’s competition, Spain’s World Cup winner Aitana Bonmati is the red-hot favourite to succeed her international team-mate, Alexia Putellas, having won the Golden Ball for her exploits in Australia and New Zealand.

There will be a number of other awards on the night, including the Puskas Award, for the best goal, the Yashin Trophy, for the best goalkeeper, and the Kopa Trophy, for the best Under-21 player.

But how can you watch the famous ceremony as it proceeds, and what time does it all start?
