With a little under a month until the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 kicks off in Vienna, Austria, fans are going into overdrive with predictions as to who will qualify from this year's semi-finals, who will miss out... and of course, who will take out the Eurovision 2026 crown.


We have looked at the Aussievision team's predictions as to who will qualify from semi-final 1 in Vienna. Semi-final 1 is on 12 May 2026.


Based on everything we've seen so far, 14 Aussievision contributors have each chosen their 10 qualifiers from semi-final 1 and we've tallied up the totals for an overall Aussievision team prediction.



Semi-final 1


The 10 acts the Aussievision team has collectively picked to qualify from semi-final 1 are:

(The percentage of team members picking that nation in brackets)


  1. Finland (100%)

  2. Sweden (100%)

  3. Moldova (100%)

  4. Croatia (93.3%)

  5. Greece (93.3%)

  6. Israel (93.3%)

  7. Serbia (80%)

  8. Montenegro (80%)

  9. Portugal (66.7%)

  10. Lithuania (66.7%)


This means that the team thinks that the following five entries will miss out on this year's Grand Final:


  1. Georgia (46.7%)

  2. San Marino (26.7%)

  3. Belgium (20%)

  4. Estonia (20%)

  5. Poland (13.3%)


How accurate will these predictions be? Last year the team collectively had a 80% success rate, so many picks may be right but there's usually always one or two surprises!
