Get ready for a night of musical fireworks as Latvia gears up to crown its next Eurovision champion! The final running order for Supernova 2026 has been unveiled, and the competition is fiercer than ever. After two thrilling semi-finals on January 31 and February 7, where ten artists emerged victorious from a pool of twenty-four, the stage is set for the grand finale on February 14. This is where Latvia will decide who will represent the Baltic nation at the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, Austria. But here's where it gets controversial: with such a diverse lineup, predicting the winner is anyone's guess. Will it be the soulful vibes of De Mantra, the edgy beats of ELPO, or perhaps the powerful vocals of Krisy? Only time will tell.
Here’s the official running order for the final:
- De Mantra – “Let Them” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoYZ4ky9P74)
- ELPO – “Blakus” (Beside) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaE-4Czpxl4)

- Miks Galvanovskis – “Cruel Angel” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVEu7WlgtuI)
The winner will be decided through a combination of jury and public voting, adding an extra layer of excitement to the evening. Hosted by the dynamic trio of Ketija Šēnberga, Lauris Reiniks, and Māra Sleja at the Riga Film Studio, this promises to be a night to remember. And this is the part most people miss: Latvia’s Eurovision journey has been a rollercoaster. From their debut in 2000, where Brainstorm secured a stunning 3rd place with “My Star,” to their triumphant win in 2002 with Marie N’s “I Wanna,” the nation has experienced both highs and lows. Did you know Latvia only participated in 2002 due to Portugal’s withdrawal? Or that they failed to qualify for the final for six consecutive years between 2009 and 2014? It’s a story of resilience, culminating in their 2024 qualification with Dons and “Hollow.”
Speaking of recent successes, Tautumeitas represented Latvia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 with “Bur man laimi,” finishing 13th with 158 points—their best result since 2015. This achievement included 12 points from the juries of Denmark, Lithuania, and the United Kingdom, as well as 12 points from the Lithuanian public. Will Supernova 2026’s winner top this? Only time will tell.
But here’s the real question: Which act do you think has what it takes to bring Latvia back to the top of the Eurovision leaderboard? Is it the emotional depth of Emilija’s “All We Ever Had,” the unique sound of TIKASHA SAKAMA’s “#010126 Coda,” or perhaps the energetic performance of Robert Ox’s “Ravin’ at the Taj Mahal”? Let us know in the comments below—we’d love to hear your thoughts!
