FC Bayern Munich dominated the 2026 German Footballer of the Year elections, with Harry Kane winning the men's award, Vincent Kompany taking Coach of the Year, and Giulia Gwinn claiming the women's honor. Kane received 272 votes, ahead of teammate Michael Olise (203) and Stuttgart's Deniz Undav (61). Kompany won the coach vote with 314 votes, far ahead of Julian Schuster and Sebastian Hoeneß. Gwinn won the women's category with 106 votes, ahead of Bayern teammate Klara Bühl (94) and Jule Brand (82). The awards reflect Bayern's double-winning season and their continued dominance in German football. Kane, who also received the Golden Shoe for Europe's top scorer, called it the best season of his career. The awards will be presented before Bayern's Bundesliga opener against VfB Stuttgart.
