When is the Britain's Got Talent 2026 final and who are the 10 acts hoping to win?
The finalists will compete for a £250,000 prize and a Royal Variety Performance slot after five live semi-finals, ITV said.
On Saturday, May 23, 2026, the final Britain's Got Talent semi-final concluded on ITV, confirming the complete lineup of 10 finalists for the upcoming grand finale.
Hosts Ant and Dec announced a 'Group Golden Buzzer' twist, requiring judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and KSI to reach a unanimous decision on one finalist.
Judges collectively awarded the buzzer to drone artists Celestial following their performance, while the public voted to advance The Hawkstone Farmers Choir to join the final.
Viewers immediately questioned the new format on social media, with one asking, "Why don't Ant and Dec get a final golden buzzer?" while others debated the group selection.
The 10 finalists will compete on Saturday, May 30, 2026, for the £250,000 prize and a chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performance in front of the royal family.
