Austria is the host nation by virtue of winning Eurovision last year – it is the third time the country has had the honour, having previously done so in 1967 and 2015.
Ahead of the final, here is a breakdown of all the information you need to know on how to vote.
How can I vote in the Eurovision 2026 final?
Viewers in the UK can cast their vote via the official website here or by using the Eurovision app – which you can download on the Apple App Store here and Google Play here.
You are allowed to vote up to 10 times per payment method per each Eurovision show. However, you do not have to vote as many as 10 times if you only wish to cast a single vote.

All votes cost 15p each to cast, whether you use the website or the app.
The event will be shown by Austria’s national public broadcaster ORF in cooperation with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
Can you text vote for Eurovision?
UK broadcasters did consider allowing texting as a form of voting – but have used alternative voting methods since 2008.
This is to ensure that every vote can be verified and traced back to the individual who decided to cast a vote.
When it comes to watching events unfold, the BBC is broadcasting the Grand Final live on BBC One and iPlayer.
Coverage will start at 8pm, with Graham Norton returning to his regular commentary role.
The show will last for almost three hours, ending at 11.50pm, when the BBC will switch to the news.
Audio versions will also be available through Radio 2 and BBC Sounds.
