On this page, you can find a comprehensive range of Eurovision betting odds, alongside a look at what the contest entails, how it's judged, and which countries have lifted the trophy in the past!  

What is the Eurovision Song Contest? 

The Eurovision Song Contest stands as Europe's grandest annual music competition, where countries showcase their best musical talent.  

This international songwriting contest brings together artists from across European nations in a spectacular display of cultural celebration. Each May, millions of viewers tune in to watch the live broadcast featuring pop music performances that range from ballads to dance tracks.  

In 2026, Vienna, Austria will host the 70th Eurovision. 

What are the Eurovision Betting Markets?

There are two main Eurovision betting markets for punters to choose from, both of which are available right here at BetVictor!   

Country To Win 

As the name suggests, this Eurovision betting market involves picking the country that will win the entire tournament. Potential winnings will only be awarded if the chosen country finishes in first place and lifts the trophy, with all other positions being irrelevant.  

Top Ten Place Betting 

It could prove challenging to pick out the overall winner in the Eurovision final when there are so many nations and contestants involved. So, selecting a country or multiple to place in the top ten is a popular betting market as a result. There will be twenty-six finalists on the night overall. Odds will, of course, be shorter than what's available in the winner-betting odds. 

Each Way

The each way betting option is an extension of the aforementioned "Country To Win" bet. If punters wish, they can utilise an Each Way bet by doubling their stake size to cover additional positions in the 2026 Eurovision.   

Here at BetVictor, we offer 1/5th (A fifth) of the original odds for countries that finish either in first, second, third, or fourth through our each way Eurovision betting option. Keep in mind, however, that this bet is only possible while also betting on a country to win the event.  

How is the Eurovision Song Contest Determined?

The Eurovision Song Contest uses a complex voting system to select its winner. Each country awards points based on both jury votes and public televoting, creating the final rankings that determine which nation takes home the trophy.  

National juries from each country award points to their favourite performances, with 12 points going to their top choice. Public televoting runs alongside jury voting, allowing fans to support their favourite acts through phone calls or text messages.  

In addition to this, Eurovision betting odds often predict potential winners, with Sweden's KAJ and "Bara Bada Bastu" currently leading the pack. Keep in mind that these odds can shift greatly throughout the contest, based on each performance and the changing public opinion.
