Running orders for the Eurovision Song Contest are decided by the host broadcaster Österreicher Rundfunk (ORF) and the show producers and ultimately approved by the EBU. After each semi final, qualifiers and Big 4 alike randomly drew one of three options for their Grand Final slot: First Half, Second Half, or Producer’s Choice. The performing acts are then arranged according to the flow of the program, with musical variety and technical considerations in mind. Host country Austria was randomly drawn into slot 25 earlier in the season during the Head of Delegations’ Meeting in March.
The Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 will take place on Saturday, May 16.
