How to watch the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 online for FREE from anywhere

Watch the Eurovision 2026 Grand Final tonight at 8pm (May 16) to see 25 artists compete for music's most dazzling crown. The winner, as always, will be chosen through a grossly unfair trial based on longstanding ties between nations and the prevailing political climate.

But after two vibrant semi-finals, who exactly is in contention to emerge victorious? The general consensus is that it will probably be Finland (Linda Lampenius and Pete Parkkonen with “Liekinheitin”), Greece (Akylas and “Ferto”) or Denmark (“Før vi går hjem” by Søren Torpegaard).

Australian Contestant Delta Goodrem, however, could “outshine” them all. Sorry, I'll go get my coat. Here's how to watch the Eurovision 2026 Grand Final online for free.
