Semi-final Allocation Draw
The draw to determine the allocation of the participating states into their respective semi-finals took place on 22nd June 2021. The draw decided in which half of the respective semi-finals each country would perform, with the exact running order determined by the producers of the show at a later date. From each semi-final, 10 states joined the big 6 in the final, where a total of 26 states participated.

The semi-finalists were allocated into six pots, based on their geographical place and cultural similarities.

Each time a country was drawn from the pot, its semi-final and half of the semi-final was determined.

The six pots were the following:
