Eurovision 2026: Here's the full running order for the Eurovision Grand Final
Here is the full running order for the Eurovision 2026 Grand Final - including when the UK will be performing.
The finalists for Eurovision 2026 have been decided, with the Grand Final due to take place in Austria this evening.
Following JJ’s win with Wasted Love last year, the 70th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Vienna’s Wiener Stadthalle from 8pm, UK time.
Just 25 acts now remain following the Eurovision semi-finals on Tuesday and Thursday, with 10 contestants having been eliminated from the competition.
There were fewer entries to whittle down this year, with five countries including Ireland, Iceland, the Netherlands and Slovenia, boycotting the annual song contest over the continued participation of Israel due to its war in Gaza. Spain, which was previously one of the top financial contributors to Eurovision and a member of the so-called “Big Five” countries, is also not participating in the 2026 competition due to Israel’s involvement.
The countries which have failed to qualify for the 2026 Grand Final are as follows: Azerbaijan, Luxembourg, Armenia, Switzerland, Latvia, Portugal, Georgia, Montenegro, Estonia, and San Marino, whose entry this year included Boy George.
Here is the full running order for the Eurovision 2026 final.

The running order for the final is decided via a draw, meaning each entry will either appear in the first or second half, or alternatively they will be a “Producers’ Choice” meaning their choice will be hand selected to be among the remaining spaces.
In addition to all of this year’s Eurovision finalists, there will be a performance from the 2025 winner JJ as well as some surprises in store.
You can watch the 2026 Eurovision Grand Final live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 8pm on Saturday, May 16.
