The Ballon d'Or award for the year 2020 was actually cancelled and not awarded due to the abnormal conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. France Football decided that the year did not meet the conditions to fairly award the prize, as the sports landscape was heavily disrupted with matches played without fans, changes in tournament formats, and other irregularities.

However, for recent and upcoming Ballon d'Or ceremonies such as the 2025 event, the ceremony is typically live-streamed and broadcast on various platforms depending on the region. For example, the Ballon d'Or 2025 ceremony is broadcast on the Sony Sports Network and live-streamed on the SonyLIV app and website, and also streamed live for free on the official L'Equipe YouTube channel. Different countries have their own TV partners such as CBS in the United States, beIN in the Middle East, and Claro Sports in Latin America.

In summary:

• No Ballon d'Or for 2020, the award was cancelled due to COVID-19 disruptions.
• For recent/future Ballon d'Or ceremonies, watch online via official YouTube channels (L'Equipe), network broadcasters (Sony Sports Network, etc.), or region-specific TV partners.

If interested in any Ballon d'Or ceremony other than 2020, such as the latest 2025 event, the official live streams and TV broadcasts are the best ways to watch.
