England players Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and Cole Palmer have been nominated for the men's Ballon d'Or.
Seventeen-year-old Lamine Yamal of Barcelona, who helped Spain beat England in the Euro final, has become the youngest-ever nominee for the award. He surpasses record-holder Kylian Mbappe, who was 18.
For the first time since 2003, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi - winners of all but one of the last 14 Ballons d'Or - have both missed out on a nomination.
Man City and Arsenal have four nominations each with Rodri, Erling Haaland, Ruben Dias, William Saliba and Martin Odegaard on the list as well as their England colleagues.
Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez, winner of the award handed to the best goalkeeper last year, and Chelsea's Palmer make up the rest of the Premier League players on the list.
Atalanta's Ademola Lookman is on the 30-player shortlist after scoring a hat-trick to beat Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final last season. Leverkusen's Granit Xhaka also makes the list.
Manchester United's teenage duo Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho are nominated for the Kopa Trophy, awarded to the best player under the age of 21.
City's new signing Savinho is also up for the trophy, along with Barcelona and Spain sensation Yamal.
City boss Pep Guardiola is up for coach of the year after winning an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title last season.
Carlo Ancelotti, who led Real Madrid to their 15th Champions League trophy, is among his competition, along with Spain boss Luis de la Fuente and Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso.
