The Eurovision Song Contest 2026 is scheduled to take place in Vienna, Austria, with two semi-finals on May 12 and May 14, 2026. The grand final will be held on May 16, 2026. The venue for the event is the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna.

For context, the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 was planned to have semi-finals on May 12 and May 14 and a final on May 16, but it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The upcoming 2026 contest will follow a similar schedule but in a different host city.
