The next rankings

In the third evening the second half of the competing artists will take to the stage, and also in this case the result will be determined by the public’s televoting (50%) and by the Radio Jury (50%). At the end, only the five most voted will be announced, without indicating the precise position in the ranking. There fourth evening it will instead be dedicated to covers and duets: all the juries will vote, but the verdict will concern exclusively this parallel competition, without affecting the competition of the unreleased songs presented at Sanremo 2026. The competition will resume Saturday 28 February with the finalwhen all the juries will return to express their opinions: the Televoting (34%), the Press Room, TV and Web Jury (33%) and the Radio Jury (33%). From these votes, together with the results of the first three evenings, the general ranking will be born. Also in this case only the first five positions will be communicated to the public, always in random order. THE five finalists will perform again and the juries will vote once again, thus determining the final ranking and the winner of the Festival. For this last phase, the audience at home will be able to express themselves only one telephone preference, unlike the three allowed in previous votes.
