Overview
- The third live show of X Factor 2026 airs on Sky Uno and streams on NOW with guest artist Fulminacci joining the programme.
- Producers have redesigned the X Factor Arena as a jukebox‑style, time‑machine set to evoke the sounds and atmosphere of the 1960s and 1970s.
- Giorgia returns as host while judges Francesco Gabbani, Irama, Jake La Furia and Paola Iezzi select songs and mentor the acts.
- The 11 contestants perform across two manches, the lowest‑voted face a final showdown judged by the panel, and a tied vote is decided by the public via the Tilt televote.
- The episode follows the recent exit of Veronica Bruganelli and opens with pre‑show coverage by Mariasole Pollio as the Sky Original produced by Fremantle continues multi‑platform distribution.
