This was the first live show of Eurovizijos 2016, as the previous heats were all broadcasted pre-recorded and later aired with the televoting and international jury results being revealed at the end of the show.

The 6 finalists were chosen today by a 50-50 mix of public televote, and professional jury. The rankings of both sides were converted to the Eurovision Style points 3-8, 10 and 12, and then assigned to the 8 competing acts. The jury votes consisted of a combination of a four-members Lithuanian jury panel and an international jury panel made up of three members, who cast their votes through video conference.

Eurovizijos 2016 is hosted by Andrius Rožickas and Gerūta Griniūtė.
