Eurovision song contest 2026 – live

It’s time for the 70th annual musica extravaganza – this time from Vienna (and minus a few of the usual faces). Join us for every wild moment

We open with a VT featuring the paper boat from JJ’s winning performance last year. It’s on some kind of interminable journey from Basel to Vienna, which is technically only about 500 miles so I don’t know what all the fuss is about.

It arrives at the Wiener Stadthalle to find JJ performing with the ORF Symphony Orchestra in front of 10,000 excited fans, including our very own Martin Belam! Have the best night, Martin.
