How It Works
Eurovision 2026 takes place in Basel, Switzerland. There are three legs: Semi-Final 1 (13 May), Semi-Final 2 (15 May), and the Grand Final (17 May).
🎵 Semi-Final Predictions
For each semi-final, you'll see a list of participating countries (typically 15–16). You must select exactly 10 countries that you think will qualify for the Grand Final.
Scoring
5 points for each country you correctly predicted to qualify. 0 points for each incorrect pick.
Maximum: 10 correct × 5 pts = 50 points per semi-final.
🏆 Grand Final Predictions
For the Grand Final, you'll see all 25 participating countries. You must rank your predicted top 10 using drag and drop — 15 countries can be left unranked.

Examples
You guess Italy to finish 1st, they finish 1st: 25 × 3 = 75 pts
You guess Italy to finish 1st, they finish 2nd: 18 × 3 = 54 pts
You guess France to finish 5th, they finish 5th: 25 × 1 = 25 pts
You guess France to finish 5th, they finish 8th: 12 × 1 = 12 pts
👥 Leagues
Everyone competes in the main public tournament. Users granted the League Creator role can also create private or public leagues and invite friends via a link.
Important: Your predictions are the same across all leagues you join — you only need to submit your guesses once. The leaderboard for each league shows how you rank against the other participants in that specific league.
⏰ Submission Deadlines
Guesses must be submitted before the voting ends in each live broadcast. The admin will open and close submission windows — the system validates all submissions server-side, so even if you have the form open, you cannot submit after the window closes.
Keep an eye on the dashboard for open submission windows.
