The Britain’s Got Talent final is almost upon us and the remaining acts will take to the stage one last time. Viewers have tuned in every Saturday over the last few months to watch hundreds of hopeful contestants eager to make it to the final stage in Britain’s biggest talent competition.
Ant and Dec will return to welcome the ten finalists onto the stage for their final performance. They’ll be in with a chance of winning a £250,000 cash prize, as well as the opportunity to perform at this year’s Royal Variety Performance.
It’s looking to be a spectacular night of entertainment, which kicks off on ITV1 at 7pm.
Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and KSI will take their seats on the judging panel before the ten remaining acts will perform.
It’s unclear whether ITV will bring in a wildcard act, which has happened several times in the past. Last year, singers Han and Fran were brought in as a wildcard act after they were eliminated during their semi-final.
The lucky act who receives the most votes will follow in the footsteps of 2025 winner, magician Harry Moulding. It was a tense final as Harry triumphed against dance troupe The Blackouts and nine-year-old acrobat Binita Chetry.

How to watch the Britain’s Got Talent final
The Britain’s Got Talent: Live Final airs at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX. It is scheduled to run for two and a half hours, ending at 9.30pm.
ITV’s description for the special broadcast reads: “After weeks of auditions and five semi-finals, the national talent search comes to a close as the remaining acts perform one last time.
“Their aim is to win a slot at this year’s Royal Variety Performance and get their hands on the £250,000 cash prize. All they have to do is impress the voting public, as the opinions of judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and KSI count for nothing – who wins is entirely down to the viewers at home. Presented by Ant and Dec.”
