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.
Points by position accuracy
Points are based on how close your guess is to the actual finishing position:
| Position diff | Base points |
|---|---|
| Exact match | 25 |
| ±1 | 18 |
| ±2 | 15 |
| ±3 | 12 |
| ±4 | 10 |
| Position diff | Base points |
|---|---|
| ±5 | 8 |
| ±6 | 6 |
| ±7 | 4 |
| ±8 | 2 |
| ±9 | 1 |
| ±10 or more | 0 |
Position multipliers
- 🥇 1st place guess: ×3 multiplier
- 🥈🥉 2nd and 3rd place guess: ×2 multiplier
- 4th–10th place guess: ×1 (no multiplier)
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. You can also join or create private leagues to compete with a specific group of friends.
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.
Want your own league?
Make a donation of at least €20 to Blue Yellow — a Lithuanian volunteer organisation supporting Ukraine — then send the donation screenshot to the app admin. Once confirmed, the admin will create your league and share an invite link for your group.
🔢 Tiebreakers
If two or more players finish with the same total score, the following criteria are applied in order until the tie is broken:
- Grand Final points — higher score in the Final wins
- 1st place guess — more points earned from the #1 position guess in the Final
- 2nd place guess — more points earned from the #2 position guess in the Final
- 3rd place guess — more points earned from the #3 position guess in the Final
- Semi-Final 2 points — higher score in Semi-Final 2
- Semi-Final 1 points — higher score in Semi-Final 1
⏰ 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.
⚠️ Fair Play
This is a game of your own Eurovision knowledge and intuition — not a test of who can best copy a betting website. Submitting guesses that simply mirror the current betting odds favorites is considered unsportsmanlike.
Players whose picks closely match the top-10 betting favorites for a given leg will be flagged on the leaderboard. The organisers reserve the right to disqualify flagged players at their discretion.
Have fun, trust your ear, and may the best predictor win!
