Eurovision 2026: here’s the running order for the second semi-final

A few days before the grand final of the 70th Eurovision Song Contest, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has reiterated the running order for the competition’s two semifinals. After a first semi-final marked by the qualification of 10 pays, the stage is set for the second and final semi-final on Thursday, May 14, 2026!

It began with 35 countries vying to win in Vienna, Austria, each chasing the title and the chance to succeed JJ, last year’s Eurovision winner. But of the 35 entrants, only 25 will have the right to compete in the grand final scheduled for Saturday, May 16.

On May 14, 2026, they are therefore 15 new contenders to defend their title and the colours of their country in Vienna. But only ten will earn a shot at the final. This Thursday, the Danish Søren Torpegaard Lund and the Australian Delta Goodrem, both listed among the favourites, are among the expected frontrunners, along with Romanian Alexandra Căpitănescu and Norwegian Jonas Lovv.
Moreover, three countries, automatically qualified, will also unveil their performances for the occasion: France with Monroe, Austria and Great Britain.
