The United Kingdom finished 25th and last in the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 grand final on May 16 in Vienna, according to published final results. The UK entry, Look Mum No Computer — the stage name of musician Sam Battle — scored one point overall, with reports saying the act received no points from the public vote. Bulgaria won the contest with singer Dara and the song “Bangaranga,” in what multiple outlets described as the country’s first Eurovision victory. ### How bad was the UK result? The UK’s total was one point, which left it at the bottom of the final scoreboard. Radio Times’ published results table listed the United Kingdom in 25th place, and EurovisionWorld’s results page also showed the UK finishing with one point. GB News, Yahoo News UK and other post-final reports said the single point came from a jury vote, while the televote added zero. (bbc.com) PinkNews, via an MSN pickup, reported that Battle later shared a clip of the crowd chanting “ein Punkt,” a reference to the UK’s lone point. ### Who represented Britain in Vienna? Sam Battle performed for the UK under the name Look Mum No Computer. (radiotimes.com) EurovisionWorld’s country page for the United Kingdom lists his song as “Eins, Zwei, Drei,” and Yahoo News UK identified Battle as the British entrant in this year’s contest. The grand final took place in Vienna on Saturday, May 16, for the contest’s 70th edition. (gbnews.com) Published results pages list Vienna, Austria, as the host city and identify the event as the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 grand final. ### Who won, and by how much? Bulgaria won Eurovision 2026 with Dara’s “Bangaranga.” The BBC’s live results coverage said Bulgaria beat Israel, which finished second on 343 points, while EurovisionWorld’s final results page put Bulgaria’s winning total at 516 points. (eurovisionworld.com) The Associated Press said the win was Bulgaria’s first ever at Eurovision. That gave the final a wider significance beyond the UK result, even as British coverage focused on the last-place finish. (radiotimes.com) ### Was the UK alone at the bottom after the public vote? PinkNews reported that Look Mum No Computer received “nul points” from the public vote before ending the night last overall. (bbc.com) The same report said Battle responded in upbeat fashion after the result, and the Manchester Evening News separately said fans praised that reaction. (apnews.com) The one-point total also extended a poor recent run for the UK in the public vote. AOL’s report, citing the final result, said it was the fourth consecutive year that the UK had received no points from viewers. ### Where can readers check the final standings? Published scoreboard pages remain available through entertainment outlets and Eurovision results trackers. Radio Times posted a full ranking after the final, and EurovisionWorld published the complete 2026 results page showing the points totals and placings. (msn.com) Those listings show the final as held on May 16 in Vienna, with Bulgaria first and the United Kingdom last.
