This market will resolve to "Yes" for the listed country whose candidate wins the most points at the Eurovision First Semi-Final, scheduled for May 12, 2026. If at any point it is impossible for the listed candidate to win the most points at the Eurovision 2026 First Semi-Final based on the rules of the competition (i.e. they are eliminated), this market may immediately resolve to "No". If this competition is not held or no ranking is announced by July 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve "Other". All ties will be broken according to EBU's official Eurovision rules. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Eurovision (https://eurovision.tv/), including live footage of the First Semi-Final for Eurovision 2026, however a consensus of credible reporting will suffice.Israel's entry, Noam Bettan with "Michelle," has surged to a near-certain position as the first semi-final winner thanks to dominant projections from betting markets and prediction models, which credit the track's blend of emotional balladry and strong televote appeal. Recent rehearsals in Vienna highlighted its polished staging and vocal delivery, earning top marks in simulated jury and public votes that place it well ahead of competitors like Finland and Greece. This momentum aligns with Israel's consistent historical success in semi-finals when public sentiment aligns. An upset remains possible only if late shifts in jury preferences or unexpected technical issues during the live broadcast dramatically alter the outcome on the night.
