Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Israel receives the highest total number of points from the public televoting (including the "Rest of the World" online vote) in the Grand Final of the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest. Otherwise, it will resolve to "No."

The official results, including the breakdown of jury and public vote scores, are published by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) on the official Eurovision website (https://eurovision.tv/results). If the event is cancelled or Israel does not participate in the Grand Final, the market will resolve to N/A.

Background

The 2026 Eurovision Song Contest, held in Vienna, Austria, features a competitive format where the winner is determined by a 50/50 split between professional jury scores and public televoting. In previous years, Israel's entries have attracted significant attention regarding their performance in the public vote, leading to debates about campaign strategies and the influence of international voting patterns.

For the 2026 contest, the EBU implemented rule changes, including a reduction in the maximum number of votes an individual can cast (from 20 to 10) and stricter regulations regarding promotional campaigns, in an effort to enhance voting integrity. The 2026 event has also been marked by the withdrawal of several countries—Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and Spain—citing concerns related to Israel's participation.
