The rankings are slowly being released, before the awards ceremony in London on Monday evening.
The 32-year-old was confirmed on the 30-man shortlist for the prestigious prize last month, after his record-breaking 2025/26 season.
Fernandes surpassed a long-standing Premier League benchmark, by registering 21 assists last term, and he swept the board in terms of solo accolades, collecting the PFA Players' and Football Writers' Player of the Year awards.
He has placed 27th in the overall vote, behind Dayot Upamecano and ahead of Julian Quinones, William Saliba and Sadio Mane.
This is the second time Bruno has been nominated for the Ballon d'Or, which is run by France Football and voted on by one journalist from each of the top-100 ranked FIFA countries.
Our midfielder finished joint-21st in the 2021 results, with compatriot and then team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo placing sixth.
Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe, Rodri and Lamine Yamal are among the frontrunners to win this year.
