The live final of Britain’s Got Talent 2026 will air this evening with 10 acts battling it out to become champion and a special guest performance is also on the cards
The winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2026 will be revealed tonight.
ITV have cleared the schedule for a bumper edition of the long-running talent show. Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and KSI will be on the judging panel once again as hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly oversee the proceedings.
However, it is down the public vote alone which act will win. There’s 10 acts in the running, with five of them securing their place via a golden buzzer. The other five were voted through by the viewing public during the five semi-final heats.
What time is the Britain’s Got Talent 2026 final on?
The live grand finale kicks off at 7pm and will air on ITV1 for two and a half hours with the winner revealed just before the programme ends at 9.30pm.
ITV bosses have teased a “surprise guest act” will take to the stage on the night, with fans speculating it could be Alesha’s band Mis-Teeq following the news the trio are reuniting to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their first album.
Former BGT contestant Susan Boyle has also sparked rumours she could be performing after debuting her glam new look sporting a blonde bob as she enters a “new era”.
