Australia has picked up the final points in the OGAE Poll for Eurovision as it concludes for 2026.


Each year the OGAE Eurovision fan clubs from across the world vote for their favourite Eurovision songs ahead of the Contest.


The clubs are part of Organisation Générale des Amateurs de l'Eurovision (OGAE) International who each year conduct a pre-Eurovision Song Contest poll. Every national club casts a vote from all entries participating, using the same scoring system as the one at Eurovision.


Overnight Ireland, Germany and Belgium revealed their rankings and all awarded points to Australia's entry Eclipse by Delta Goodrem.


Ireland's votes were as follows:


  1. Finland – 12 points

  2. AUSTRALIA – 10 points

  3. Denmark – 8 points

  4. Sweden – 7 points

  5. Czechia – 6 points

  6. Italy – 5 points

  7. Greece – 4 points

  8. Romania – 3 points

  9. Bulgaria – 2 points

  10. Albania – 1 point


Germany's votes were as follows:

  2. Denmark – 10 points

  3. AUSTRALIA – 8 points

  4. France – 7 points

  5. Austria – 6 points

  6. Sweden – 5 points

  7. Italy – 4 points

  8. Albania – 3 points

  9. United Kingdom – 2 points

  10. Cyprus – 1 point


Belgium's votes were as follows:

  3. AUSTRALIA – 8 points

  4. France – 7 points

  5. Sweden – 6 points

  6. Cyprus – 5 points

  7. Italy – 4 points

  8. Bulgaria – 3 points

  9. Greece – 2 points

  10. Croatia – 1 point


Final OGAE Poll 2026 tally


All 43 countries have now voted, which means Finland has won the OGAE poll for 2025 with Australia placing third overall!




How does the OGAE poll work?


Within each club, the act that receives the most votes gets 12 points, the second most receives 10 points, and then 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 point for the remaining acts in descending order of popularity. Just like at Eurovision, OGAE clubs cannot vote for their own country.


On six occasions, the OGAE poll has successfully predicted the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, with a further four OGAE poll winners coming in second or third place.


Previous Eurovision winners that were predicted by the OGAE poll are -


  • 2007 - Serbia - Molitva

  • 2009 - Norway - Fairytale

  • 2012 - Sweden - Euphoria

  • 2013 - Denmark - Only Teardrops

  • 2018 - Israel - Toy

  • 2023 - Sweden - Tattoo
