The Eurovision Song Contest 2026 grand final takes place tonight in Vienna, Austria, with the UK competing against favourites including Finland, Greece and Australia.
Look Mum No Computer (real name Sam Battle) will perform his zany entry “Eins, Zwei, Drei”, around halfway through the competition in which 25 countries secured spots as finalists.
The UK is guaranteed a spot in the final as one of the “Big Four” countries that make the largest financial contributions to Eurovision, along with France, Italy and Germany, and Austria thanks to its role as this year’s host.

Spain – the fifth country typically guaranteed a spot in the final due to its broadcaster making the largest financial contribution to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) – withdrew from this year’s contest in protest over Israel’s participation.
The 70th Eurovision Song Contest is being held at the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna’s 15th district (Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus).
