Count down to the big night in hours

On the morning of its 70th ceremony on Oct 26, 2026, the Ballon d'Or account posted Good morning London! Today is the day! with a poster of the trophy and the words TEN HOURS TO GO. At midnight London time it had already posted It's midnight in London with an eyes emoji. The morning post passed 14,000 likes, 1,200 reposts and 493,000 views.

Counting down in hours on the day itself turns waiting into a shared ritual, and one bold poster with a single number is easy to repost. To copy it, post at the start of the big day. Then show one number that counts down.

  1. Post at the start of the big day
  2. Show one number that counts down
  3. Use one bold poster with your trophy or product
  4. Keep the copy to one line and one hashtag
