How to vote for the winner in Eurovision 2026 in the UK

This year’s event is taking place in Austria, following the country’s win last year.

With 25 countries taking part, viewers in the UK can vote for any of the other 24 countries involved.

Here is how those watching in the UK can vote in tonight’s contest.

How to vote in Eurovision 2026 in the UK

In the UK, you can vote online and can vote up to 10 times.

You can also vote using the Eurovision app, which can be downloaded on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.

All votes cost 15p each to cast, whether you use the website or the app.

As the UK is a participating country, instructions on how to vote will be on screen during the broadcast.

Viewers in the UK cannot vote for their own country, and any votes from the UK for the UK act will not count.

Voting will open just before the first song is performed and will stay open through all the performances, and for approximately 40 minutes after the last song has been performed.

How does scoring work in Eurovision?

In the final, the scores for each country are calculated on both the results of the public televoting and the results of the national juries.

For the national jury vote of each country, the score of each song in each country is 12 points for the top-ranked country, 10 points for the second country, eight points for the third country, seven points for the fourth country, and down to one point for the song having obtained the tenth-best rank.

The points awarded from the public vote from each country for each song works by adding 12 points to the song that obtained the highest number of votes.

From here, 10 points go to the song with the second most votes, eight to third, seven to the next, down to one for the tenth-highest.

The audience in each participating country will award a total of 58 points, and the audience voting online from non-participating countries will also award a total of 58 points.

The jury in each of the 37 participating countries will also award a total of 58 points.

The winner is the act with the highest combined points.
