The running order for the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 has been finalized by the producers. Following a tradition established over the past 12 years, the Austrian broadcaster Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF) has determined the sequence of performances after the semi-final qualification rounds.
Earlier in the contest, a draw allocated half of the finalists to either the first or second half of the Grand Final. The other half were categorized under "Producer Decides," which permitted ORF to strategically arrange their positions in the show.
Once the ten qualifiers from the second semi-final were confirmed, ORF began organizing the running order with the goal of ensuring variety and flow throughout the event.
It was already set by draw that the host country, Austria, will perform 25th in the lineup for the Grand Final, which will be held in Vienna in mid-May 2026.
The 70th edition of Eurovision in 2026 promises a carefully planned show presentation, continuing the approach of the preceding contests where producers curate the running order to enhance the viewing experience and maintain diversity in musical styles and staging.
