According to Novyny.live: Bookmakers have revised their forecasts for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026, scheduled for May. Finland currently tops the list with a 12% chance of winning. Ukraine will be represented by the band LELÉKA with the song "Ridnym," which is given a 4% probability of victory. The Eurovision betting market is closely watched by fans as an indicator of early momentum, though it remains highly volatile.

Finland's Track Record at Eurovision

Finland, which first entered the contest in 1961, has only won Eurovision once. That victory came in 2006 when the band Lordi won with "Hard Rock Hallelujah." However, the country's history in the competition also includes significant setbacks:

  • Finland has finished in last place a total of eight times.

Greece will be represented at Eurovision 2026 by Akylas with the song "Ferto." Israel, meanwhile, will be represented by Noam Bettan, whose song release is scheduled for March 5.

The Ukrainian national selection final took place on February 7, where LELÉKA received the maximum 10 points from both the jury and the public vote. The international music community now awaits May to see if Ukraine can take another step toward victory in this prestigious contest.

The Eurovision Song Contest remains a vital platform for showcasing the musical talent of participating nations. Given past successes and failures, bookmakers' odds are likely to shift based on factors like rehearsal performances and public reaction. Ukraine, with its strong musical tradition and contest experience, hopes for strong support from its fans and a successful result in May.
