The running order of the Grand Final has been revealed very early this morning. In former years this has been drawn, but to exceed the excitement the host broadcaster is aligning this with the EBU reference group. This is being made to avoid that too many ballads are close to each other and the mix of music is diversified. In the press conference after the semi-finals, the artists are just drawing in which part of the Grand Final they will perform.

This is the running order for the Grand Final 2021:

1. Cyprus
2. Albania
3. Israel
4. Belgium
5. Russia
6. Malta
7. Portugal
8. Serbia
9. United Kingdom
10. Greece
11. Switzerland
12. Iceland
13. Spain
14. Moldova
15. Germany
16. Finland
17. Bulgaria
18. Lithuania
19. Ukraine
20. France
21. Azerbaijan
22. Norway
23. The Netherlands
24. Italy
25. Sweden
26. San Marino

We will see a powerful opening with Cyprus and a crazy end with San Marino. In-between there is a solid mix of slow and fast songs. The favourites are mainly place in the last third, while Malta is 6th, Switzerland 11th and Iceland 12th.
