The second semi-final of the 70th Eurovision edition is one you won’t want to miss on May 14, 2026. While France has already qualified directly for the final, their entrant Monroe will perform her song “Regarde !” live for the very first time this Thursday night. So, at what point in the show will Monroe take the stage? Here’s what we know.

The Eurovision Song Contest rolls on in Vienna. After a first semi-final that saw ten countries advance, the spotlight now shifts to the second semi-final. This next round unfolds on Thursday, May 14, 2026. For the occasion, 15 new nations will battle it out. But only ten of them will earn a coveted spot in the grand final scheduled for Saturday, May 16.

During the second semi-final, three of the five countries that automatically qualified will also reveal their live performances. This Thursday, the France, Austria and the United Kingdom will perform their song live from Vienna. On the French side, all eyes will be on Monroe, who remains among the Top 5 favorites according to bookmakers. We note that Monroe will carry France’s banner with the song “Regarde !”.

Monroe's Eurovision 2026 performance: what should we expect?
Eurovision returns this week for its 70th edition, and France is hoping to reclaim the victory with its entrant Monroe. So what kind of performance should we expect? Here’s a bit more detail, as the young singer delivers her first live show from Vienna this Thursday evening, ahead of the grand final scheduled for Saturday, May 16, 2026. [Read more]

So, when exactly will Monroe’s fans get to see her performance come to life? According to the semi-final running order unveiled by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Monroe will take the stage after Daniel Žižka, the Czech Republic's hopeful, and right before SIMÓN, Armenia's entry. Monroe thus lands in the first half of the show. Based on how the first semi-final unfolded, Monroe could perform her song “Regarde!” on Thursday, May 14, around 9:30 p.m. local time. But plan for a wider window, since live-show hiccups could push her slot by several minutes.

So join us this Thursday, May 14, for the second semi-final to catch Monroe's performance. The evening will be broadcast live on France 4.

The French representative will perform her song again this Saturday, May 16, 2026, in the Eurovision grand final. For now, the running order for this final stage has not yet been announced, so stay tuned!
