There are 25 countries set to go head to head in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest, but there are only a few among bookmakers’ favourites.
Following two rounds of semi-finals which saw countries including Greece and Cyprus earn their place in the Grand Final which will take place in Vienna, Austria on Saturday (May 16) as the song contest celebrates its 70th anniversary.
While nations such as Bulgaria have made their return to the competition following years of absence, a number of countries including Ireland and Spain are boycotting Eurovision over the continued participation of Israel.
A total of 35 countries went head to head to earn their spot in the 2026 final, with Finland and Australia among this year’s favourites.
Unsurprisingly, the UK aren’t anywhere near the top of the favourites to win Eurovision despite Youtuber Look Mum No Computer - whose real name is Sam Battle - representing the country.
His song Eins, Zwei, Drei has odds of 125/1, but Battle told the BBC that he was comfortable with the thought of losing. He joked that if the worst comes to pass and he earns the dreaded nul points that “look mum, no points” would make a “really good t-shirt”.
With that being said, Eurovision is many things but very rarely is it predictable - especially with the public vote playing a role.
So here are the latest Eurovision 2026 odds, and which countries are the favourites to win overall.
