There are only a few hours left until the grand finale of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 takes place on Saturday (May 16th) from 9 p.m. in the Wiener Stadthalle. Ten participants had to pack their bags beforehand and were eliminated in the semi-finals. In addition to Sarah Engels, who is starting the race with “Fire” for Germany from the rather unfavorable starting position of second place, 24 other participants are applying for the ESC crown – and an entry into the history books. You can watch the spectacular show live on ARD.
