The BBC has confirmed that Graham Norton, Rylan Clark and Angela Scanlon will lead coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026, with the grand final set for Saturday 16 May in Vienna, Austria.
The 70th edition of the contest will be held at the Wiener Stadthalle, following Austria's victory last year. The UK will be represented by electronic musician Look Mum No Computer, performing 'Eins, Zwei, Drei'.
This year's contest has been marred by controversy, with several nations boycotting over Israel's participation, leaving 35 competing countries. The semi-finals take place on Tuesday 12 May and Thursday 14 May, both at 8pm UK time on BBC One.
Rylan Clark and Angela Scanlon will present the semi-finals, while Graham Norton fronts the grand final. Sara Cox will host BBC Radio 2 coverage, and Tia Kofi will serve as digital correspondent.
According to Eurovisionworld.com, Finland is the current favourite to win with a 29% probability, while the UK is in 20th place with a 1% chance. The winner is determined by a combination of national jury votes and public votes from participating countries and a worldwide vote.
