Eurovision jury, televote split released

The European Broadcasting Union published two separate videos on Sunday showing the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 Grand Final jury vote and televote as stand-alone sequences on the official Eurovision YouTube channel. The uploads came hours after Bulgaria won the contest in Vienna on Saturday night with Dara’s “Bangaranga” on 516 points. The releases gave viewers a cleaner look at a voting system that combines national jury scores with public votes, and at where those two blocs pulled in different directions. Eurovision has published split voting data for years, but the separate video uploads put the contrast between juries and viewers at the center of the post-show package. ### Which official videos were released on Sunday? The Eurovision Song Contest channel posted “The Jury Results of Eurovision 2026 | Grand Final” and “Public Vote - The Televote Results of Eurovision 2026 | Grand Final” on Sunday, according to the channel listings and video pages. The jury video uses the full sequence of spokesperson announcements from national juries, while the televote video isolates the public-vote reveal that reshaped the standings at the end of the show. (youtube.com) YouTube listings showed the jury-results video drawing tens of thousands of views within hours, while the televote clip also drew immediate traffic after publication. The official channel had about 7.7 million subscribers on Sunday, according to its YouTube page. ### What do the split videos show that the live final did not? The separate uploads do not change the outcome, but they reorder the viewer’s attention. The live Grand Final in Vienna presented jury points first and then added the televote totals in bulk at the end; the stand-alone videos let viewers watch each half of the voting without the rest of the show around it. (youtube.com) Eurovision’s official results architecture already allows users to inspect split results by event and voter, with the contest stating that detailed split jury and televoting results have been published since 2014 “to increase openness.” The Sunday video releases turned that data practice into a more visible piece of the post-final presentation. (youtube.com) ### Who won the contest, and why do the split results matter? (youtube.com) Bulgaria won Eurovision 2026 with 516 points for “Bangaranga,” according to the published final results. Israel finished second after winning the first semi-final, and Austria competed as host after winning in 2025. The split matters because Eurovision’s winner is decided by two separate constituencies: national juries and televoters, each awarding points on the familiar 1-to-8, 10 and 12 scale. (eurovision.tv) When those groups favor different songs, the combined table can move sharply during the final reveal. ### How does Eurovision describe the voting system? EurovisionWorld’s 2026 results page says the Grand Final combined televoting from participating countries and online “Rest of the World” voting with national jury scores. (eurovisionworld.com) The same page says 25 countries competed in the Grand Final after two semi-finals, with Austria as defending champion host and the Big Four automatically qualified. The official Eurovision results site says users can explore detailed split jury and televoting results country by country. (eurovisionworld.com) That means viewers who saw a gap between jury and public preferences in the Sunday videos can trace where those points came from in the underlying tables. ### Where can viewers check the breakdown themselves? The official Eurovision YouTube channel now carries the separate 2026 jury-results and televote videos alongside the Grand Final stream and performance clips from Vienna. (eurovisionworld.com) The channel page on Sunday also listed the full Grand Final livestream from May 16. Eurovision’s official results pages and third-party score aggregators such as EurovisionWorld also list the final points and voting format for the 2026 contest. (eurovision.tv) Those pages remained live on Sunday after the Grand Final, with Bulgaria listed as the 2026 winner and Vienna listed as the host city. (youtube.com)
