The Grand Final Running Order

The running order for the Grand Final of Eurovision 2026 will only be determined following the conclusion of both semi-finals and the announcement of the full list of qualifying nations. However, one specific detail is already confirmed – the host nation, Austria, was pre-drawn to perform as song number 25 in the final.

The positions for the remaining qualifying nations will be determined by the contest producers. This follows a draw where each nation is assigned to either the first or second half of the evening, after which the full production-led running order is established.

First Half (Songs 1-12):

• Belgium – Essyla, “Dancing On The Ice”

• Greece – Akylas, “Ferto”

• Serbia – Lavina, “Kraj Mene”

Second Half (Songs 13-24):

• Lithuania – Lion Ceccah, “Sólo quiero más”

• Poland – Alicja Szemplinska, “Pray”

• Sweden – FELICIA, “My System”

Producer’s Choice (To be assigned to either half):

• Croatia – LELEK, “Andromeda”

• Finland – Linda Lampenius x Pete Parkkonen, “Liekinheitin”

• Germany – Sarah Engels, “Fire”

• Israel – Noam Bettan, “Michelle”

• Italy – Sal Da Vinci, “Per Sempre Si”

• Moldova – Satoshi, “Viva, Moldova!”
