Soon, on February 7, Ukrainians will choose the artist who will represent our country at Eurovision, which will be held in Vienna this year. The names of all ten finalists are already known, so you should prepare to vote correctly.
24 Channel will tell you in detail how to vote in the National Selection for Eurovision this year in order to cast your vote for your favorite.
How to vote in the final of the National Selection-2026?
This year, both the audience vote and the professional jury will be taken into account when choosing the winner. Unfortunately, the Diya app sometimes cannot handle the influx of votes during voting, so for the second year in a row, you will also be able to vote via SMS.
Please note! Each participant has their own serial number, as this is necessary for voting via SMS. To do this, send a code from 1 to 10 to 7576 (choose the number that corresponds to your favorite).
Don't miss out! One SMS message per finalist will be counted from one phone number.
1. Valeriya Force – Open Our Hearts;
2. Molodi – THE LEGENDS;
3. Monokate – TYT;
4. The Elliens – Crawling whispers;
5. Laud – Lightkeeper;
6. Leléka – “Native”;
7. Mr. Vel – Do or Done;
8. KHAYAT – “Hertz”;
9. Jerry Heil – CATHARTICUS (prayer);
10. “PikeFish” – “My Land”.
But there will also be voting in Diya . All Ukrainians aged 14 and over will be able to take part in it. To vote for a participant, you need to take the following steps: go to the Diya application – select the “Services” section, and then – “Polls”.
But remember that voting does not start with the start of the broadcast. It will begin after the performance of the 10th participant. This year, the hosts of the show are Lesya Nikityuk and Timur Miroshnychenko. They will tell you when you can vote.
