The 25 countries heading into Saturday’s Eurovision final in Vienna, Austria, are now set after the second semi-final finished tonight. Eighteen countries took to the stage, and the remaining 10 finalists were revealed once the votes were counted.
Belgium, Croatia, Finland, Greece, Israel, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Serbia and Sweden had already secured their places on Tuesday, and the latest round completed the lineup. The UK, Italy, Germany and France were already through as the “Big Four,” while Austria was guaranteed a place as host.
That means the full field for Saturday is now locked in, and the contest’s focus shifts to the final in Vienna. Mark Savage said, “We now know the 25 contestants who’ll perform here in Vienna on Saturday night,” and added of one performer, “I think Delta’s the one to watch.”
The Eurovision Song Contest 2026 uses semi-finals to decide most of the finalists, with a handful of countries joining automatically in the grand final. This year’s setup left only 48 hours between tonight’s second semi-final and Saturday’s show, giving the finalists little time before the biggest night of the contest.
The live page said it would return on Saturday for live coverage of the Eurovision final. For viewers asking what time is eurovision 2026, the answer is tied to that final in Vienna on Saturday, when all 25 contestants will perform.
