Eurovision 2026 Grand Final tonight, Albania performs fifth with “Nan”, how to vote for song 05

TIRANA, May 16 – The Eurovision Song Contest 2026 Grand Final takes place tonight at Vienna’s Wiener Stadthalle, where Albania will perform fifth among 25 competing countries.

Albania’s representative Alis Kallaçi will take the stage with Nân after Denmark, Germany, Israel and Belgium open the show. In recent hours, the Albanian entry has ranked among the most-viewed Eurovision performances online, raising expectations ahead of tonight’s final.

Meanwhile, viewers outside Albania can support the country by voting for song number 05. Eurovision rules do not allow audiences to vote for their own country from within that territory.

Audiences in participating countries can vote by phone, SMS or through the official Eurovision platform esc.vote, according to local broadcaster instructions. In addition, viewers in non-participating countries can cast their votes online through the same platform.

The voting window opens shortly before the first performance and remains open throughout the show. Organisers will close voting around 40 minutes after the final performance. Each viewer can vote up to 10 times.

Meanwhile, RTSH will broadcast the Eurovision Grand Final live on RTSH 1 HD, RTSH Muzikë and Radio Tirana.
