With the Eurovision Predictor you can forecast the outcomes of the Eurovision Song Contest semi-finals and final in 2026. ESC26 will be held in Vienna, Austria from 12th to 16th May.

Anyone can create their own private group competitions and invite friends or colleagues, for example. Well-known Eurovision personalities from Yle and invited expert guests also create their own groups and compete on equal terms with all participants for the win in the Eurovision Predictor.

The Eurovision Predictor can be played in Finnish, Swedish, and in English. In the English version, the game content is fully in English, but the app menus around the game remain in Finnish or Swedish. The easiest way to access the game in English after downloading the Yle app is by using this link or by navigating to the top right menu in the Yle app, where you can find Viisutietäjä under the “Pinnalla nyt” section.

Win UMK27 Tickets and exclusive merchandise!

The winner of the Eurovision Predictor will receive two tickets to the UMK27 final (Finland’s national Eurovision selection) in February. The second- and third-place finishers will each receive two tickets to the UMK27 dress rehearsal in February. Those who place 4th–10th will receive Yle product prizes.

If several participants have the same score, the prize winner will be determined based on who has correctly predicted the winner among the TOP 5, who has the most points in the TOP 5, or, if necessary, by drawing lots.

In addition, three product prizes will be drawn each competition day (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday) among all participants who made predictions that day.

The winners will be announced in the Eurovision Predictor after each competition day. Prize winners will be contacted no later than the week after Eurovision via the email address linked to their Yle ID.

Scoring in the Eurovision Predictor

The Eurovision Predictor has nine different predictions where a total of 1300 points are awarded. In each semi-final, 300 points are awarded, and in the final, 700 points.

In the semifinals, you predict which artists will advance to the final. There are 10 spots to move forward, and you earn 25 points for each correct choice. For a perfect score, meaning correctly predicting all ten advancing artists, you receive a bonus of 50 points.

In the final, there are five sections to predict. In the TOP 5, you predict the Eurovision winner, second place, and third place. For each correct TOP 5 prediction in the right place, you earn 80 points, making the maximum score 400. If you have predicted an artist in the TOP 5 correctly but in the wrong place, you receive 30 consolation points (for example, if you predicted Linda Lampenisu and Pete Parkkonen to be second when they actually wins).

In the Jury's favourite, you predict the country that receives the most votes from international jury groups. In the Audience choice, you predict the country that receives the most votes from the public. In the Finnish jury favourite, it's about which country the Finnish jury gives 12 points to. In the Jumbo prediction, you predict the country that comes last in the final. For each correctly guessed favourite and Jumbo, you earn 60 points.

In the Full points: Erika vs KAJ prediction, you predict how many countries' juries will give full points to Finland's representative Erika Vikman and Sweden's representative KAJ. The maximum score for this object is 75 if both numbers are correctly predicted.
