Ten finalists announced for Eurovision 2026 second semi-final

The second semi-final of Eurovision 2026 took place in Vienna, the Austrian capital, where performers from fifteen countries took to the stage.

Based on the audience vote, ten countries have secured their place in the final: Bulgaria, Ukraine, Norway, Australia, Romania, Malta, Cyprus, Albania, Denmark, and the Czech Republic.

Under the contest rules, only the audience’s vote determines which countries progress from the semi-final to the grand final; the jury does not participate in the voting process.

A total of 25 countries will compete in the Eurovision 2026 final. Of these, the ten nations that qualified from the first semi-final are joined by the ten qualifiers from today’s semi-final. Additionally, the ‘Big Four’ countries, Germany, Italy, Great Britain, and France, along with the host nation, Austria, have automatically secured their spots in the final.

The group “Bzikebi” with their song On Replay represent Georgia at this year’s Eurovision.

The Eurovision 2026 final will be broadcast on GPB First Channel on May 16.
