Britain’s Got Talent 2026 Predictions & Odds

On 21 February, the 19th run of Britain’s Got Talent returned to our screens to showcase all of the pre-recorded auditions before the live shows get underway from 25 April.

This phase is as much about highlighting the outright top talents as it is showing those close calls and the ones who clearly lost a bet to their mates. Now, with the show underway, the TV specials odds have opened for BGT 2026.

Even with plenty left to show, and the chance for stage fright to kick in at any point down the line, we’ll now delve into the BGT betting markets and the current Britain’s Got Talent 2026 odds.

BGT 2026 Winner Odds

The Britain’s Got Talent betting odds are careful not to reveal anything that hasn’t yet been shown to the public through the ITV show itself.

So, the BGT 2026 winner odds get updated with each weekly broadcast. While these odds will likely change and the order of the participants will shift around, this is how the Britain’s Got Talent 2026 odds look at the time of writing:

• Rafferty Coope – 8/1
• Celestial – 12/1
• Paul Nunnari – 12/1
• Sonny Green – 14/1
• Fraser Penman – 16/1
• LMA – 16/1
• Niamh Noade – 16/1
• Macshane & Delby – 20/1
• Liwei Yang – 25/1
• SOS – 40/1
• Dom and Ninja – 40/1
• Baron and Vesper – 80/1
• Claire Spiller – 150/1
• Chance – 150/1

Of the selection that we know will be considered for the live shows, two stand out as early favourites of Britain’s Got Talent. Those two are the early Golden Buzzer recipients: Paul Nunnari and Rafferty Coope.

Who are the Early Favourites of Britain’s Got Talent 2026?

Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Paul Nunnari dazzled the judges with his wheelchair aerialist act: the former Paralympic Games silver medallist earned the pass from Simon Cowell.

From the 52-year-old acrobat, we go to a 16-year-old magician. Rafferty Coope from Hampshire convinced KSI to stomp on the Golden Buzzer after his piano routine.

While the Golden Buzzer is a huge show of confidence, since its inception in the eighth series back in 2014, only three times has the eventual winner been given the automatic pass.

That said, the judges have become better at finding winners with their Golden Buzzers in recent series. In 2020, 2021, and 2024, a Golden Buzzer contestant made good on their Britain’s Got Talent betting odds and won the show.

It’s also worth noting for anyone looking at the BGT 2026 winner odds now that only two overseas acts have ever won it all, with those being Hungarian shadow theatre act Attraction in 2013 and comedian Viggo Venn from Norway in 2023.
