The winner of Britain's Got Talent 2026 will be crowned tonight during a live grand finale on ITV1. The extended edition of the talent competition begins at 7pm on Saturday, May 30, and runs for two and a half hours, concluding at 9.30pm with the victor announced shortly before the end.
The judging panel features Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and KSI, with Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly hosting. Ten acts remain in contention: five secured their places via golden buzzers during the semi-finals, while the other five advanced through public votes. The winner will receive a £250,000 cash prize and a spot at The Royal Variety Performance later this year.
ITV executives have hinted at a surprise guest performance during the show, sparking speculation that Alesha Dixon's former group Mis-Teeq might reunite, or that previous BGT star Susan Boyle could appear after unveiling a new look. The final line-up includes golden buzzer winners Matty Juniosa (singer), Sadeck Berrabah and LMA (dance group), Liwei Yang (fire juggler), Sonny Green (poet), and Celstial (drone art collective). Public vote qualifiers are Anastasiia and Salsa (dog act), Fabian Fox (magician), Ted Hill (comedian), Rafferty Coope (magician), and The Hawkstone Farmers Choir.
Viewers can vote via itv.com/vote or by scanning a QR code shown during the broadcast. First-time voters must verify their UK mobile number and create a memorable passcode. The show airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
