Watch along as Estonia picks its song for Vienna

HOW TO WATCH: The 2026 edition of Eesti Laul will start at 18:30 on Saturday 14 February. Viewers in Estonia will be able to watch via broadcaster ERR, while international viewers can stream the show on the Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel.

12 songs will compete in Eesti Laul, with voting coming in from both a public vote and an international jury vote contributing 50% of the scores each. From this first vote, a Top 3 will be determined and a new 'Superfinal' formed. The three songs will then be put to a second and final vote, although this time it will be solely the public vote deciding Estonia's song for Vienna.

In a new feature for 2026, broadcaster ERR has opened Eesti Laul voting to international audiences.

This year, Eesti Laul is expanding its reach by introducing online voting for the first time, allowing audiences to vote regardless of their location.

In 2026, votes for Eesti Laul can be cast in three ways: by phone call, via SMS, or through online voting on the online voting platform eestilaul.vote, which uses the same process employed by the Eurovision Song Contest and several other countries for their national finals.

While phone voting remains available only within Estonia, online voting will enable fans both in Estonia and abroad to support their favourite songs.

Before choosing the entry you'll be rooting for on Saturday night, you can already listen to the 12 songs of Eesti Laul 2026 over on the Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel.

These are the 12 competing entries in the order that they'll be performed in on Saturday night:

Hosts on Saturday evening will be Korea and Karl-Erik Taukar, guiding you through the competition from Unibet Arena in Tallinn. And broadcaster ERR has also lined up some extra-special guest entertainment for the show.

Viewers can look forward to watching performances by the Nublu and Tief City 44, former Eurovision performer for Estonia (also in Vienna, in 2015!) Elina Born, the group Singer Vinger, plus the special cast of the musical Romeo and Juliet, led by Jaagup Tuisu and Wanda-Helene Ollep.

Winner of Eesti Laul 2025, Tommy Cash, brought Estonia its best result at the Eurovision Song Contest in over two decades with the continental earworm that is Espresso Macchiato.

The song scored 356 points at the Basel 2025, an all-time high for Estonia at the Contest. And it landed the Baltic nation in the Top 3 on the night.
