It's awards-ballot season across multiple levels of the sport. MLS opened fan voting Monday for two of its signature year-end honors: the 2026 AT&T MLS Goal of the Year and the 2026 MLS Save of the Year. Both votes run from November 9 through November 16, with nominees drawn from the season's highlight reels and fans deciding which strike and which stop take home the hardware.

At the high school level, the 2026 North Carolina football regular season is in the books, and Yahoo Sports has opened voting for the All-WNC honors — separate ballots for Offensive Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year covering Western North Carolina's regular-season standouts.

The common thread: a one-week window to make your picks count. MLS voters have until the 16th, and WNC ballots are live now following the final week of the regular season.
