A historic night in London

For the first time, the British capital will host the gala of the prestigious award, one of the most important events on the international football calendar. Movistar Plus will broadcast it again exclusively and in full, guaranteeing total coverage under The Day After. Movistar+ will be the hallmark of the broadcast throughout Spain.

The platform has prepared a special offering with more than four consecutive hours of live programming, from 19.30 to midnight. This slot will allow viewers to follow the ceremony, specialist analysis and the reactions of the protagonists.

Coverage from London and Tres Cantos

From 19.30, Noemí de Miguel, Julio Maldonado 'Maldini' and Mario Suárez will be in London to cover the red carpet and interview the stars. In parallel, Carlos Martínez, Álvaro Benito, Gerard López and Antonio Mateu Lahoz will work in the Movistar Plus studios in Tres Cantos, offering their insight and analysis of the awards.

Cata Coll, Pere Romeu and Barça, representing Barcelona, will receive an award during the Ballon d'Or Gala. Sergi Solé and Luis de la Fuente are the main favorites for the Ballon d'Or, while Ferran Martínez stands out as a favorite for the best coach.

A broad editorial and technical deployment will allow viewers to experience the ceremony beyond the award presentations, with the excitement of the red carpet, specialist analysis and exclusive content from 'The Day After'.

Thus, the combination of an exclusive broadcast and on‑site coverage shows how Movistar Plus turns a global event into an intimate experience for the Spanish audience.
