The second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 was held to determine the final ten countries advancing to the Grand Final on Saturday, 16 May 2026, in Vienna, Austria. From 15 competing entries, the following ten countries secured their places: Albania, Australia, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Malta, Norway, Romania, and Ukraine.

The lineup for the Grand Final is now complete following this semi-final. The running order for the final will soon be established via a draw to decide which half of the show each country will perform in, though the final sequence itself will be curated by the Austrian broadcaster Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF), the contest’s producer.

Voting in Semi-final 2 included the 15 competing countries, as well as the pre-qualified nations Austria, France, and the United Kingdom, plus global online voters called "The rest of the world." Both jury members and televoters from each voting country awarded points in the standard Eurovision format of 1 to 8, 10, and 12 points. Detailed voting results will be released after the Grand Final on 16 May.
