Leading Contenders & Key Entries for Eurovision 2026
Finland - Linda Lampenius x Pete Parkkonen: “Liekinheitin”
Finland leads the betting with “Liekinheitin,” performed by Linda Lampenius x Pete Parkkonen, a red-hot favourite after winning UMK 2026 to earn the ticket to Vienna.
The song mixes dramatic Scandinavian pop with violin-led instrumentation and a powerful chorus, giving it a standout identity on stage and strong appeal in both jury and televoters.
Greece - Akylas: “Ferto”
Greece is second favourite with Akylas and the track “Ferto,” which won the Sing for Greece 2026 national final.
“Ferto” blends modern Greek pop with rhythmic hooks and staging built around choreography, and betting momentum has pushed Greece closer to Finland in recent days.
Denmark - Søren Torpegaard Lund: “Før vi går hjem”
Denmark will be represented by Søren Torpegaard Lund’s “Før vi går hjem" and the song is gathering support.
This entry is a melodic, atmospheric pop ballad that leans on Lund’s vocal strength and intimate staging make this entry likely to score highly for jury voting.
Israel - Noam Bettan: "Michelle"
Israel has climbed into the upper end of the betting picture after a strong live performance in rehearsals of Noam Bettan's "Michelle".
Traders have reacted to a clear televote-friendly song with Israel significantly shortening in both the win and public-vote markets to become a live danger to the three main favourites.
Australia - Delta Goodrem: "Eclipse"
Australia’s entry, “Eclipse,” brings a polished, contemporary pop production that has landed well with fan polls - particularly with Delta Goodrem performing for her country.
It is a classic jury-friendly package with enough visual impact to keep it in the frame for a top-five finish if the final performance is clean.
France - Monroe: “Regarde!”
France is represented by “Regarde!,” a French-language entry performed by Monroe that combines chanson influences with modern production.
It has less hype than some rivals but has consistently rated as solid value for a high placing due to strong vocal delivery and staging cohesion. It could be a real value outsider.
Romania - Alexandra Căpitănescu: "Choke Me"
Romania’s entry has emerged as a dark horse, sitting just outside the main group of favourites after outperforming expectations in early rehearsals.
The entry is titled "Choke Me" from Alexandra Căpitănescu and there are strong expectations from the combination of uptempo staging and regional voting that could threaten the podium at bigger prices.
Italy - Sal Da Vinci: "Per sempre sì"
Italy rounds out the current top eight in the outright market with a polished, Sanremo-style pop entry that brings credibility and musicality in the shape of Sal Da Vinci's "Per sempre sì".
Italy’s track record at turning solid live performances into strong jury scores means it cannot be dismissed entirely for each-way or top-4 bets.
