To vote for Mad-Dog on X Factor 2026, you can use the official app for free, the show’s website, or the interactive features on Sky Q, Sky Glass and Sky Stream. Wait for the televoting session to open during the live broadcast, then select the band from the contestants available.
The four musicians from Sassari, on Paola Iezzi’s team, make their Live-show debut on Thursday, October 22 at 9:15 p.m., on Sky Uno and streaming on NOW. After the selection rounds, the public can also help shape their journey in the competition.
How to vote for Mad-Dog on the X Factor app
To take part in the televote on your phone:
- Download the official X Factor app for free from the App Store or Google Play.
- Sign in with Sky ID, Facebook, Apple or Google, depending on the options available.
- During the live broadcast, go to the Vote section when voting opens.
- Select Mad-Dog and submit your vote by following the instructions.
It’s a good idea to install the app and sign in before the show, so you’re ready when Giorgia announces that televoting is open.
How to vote for Mad-Dog on the website, without downloading the app
If you prefer to use a browser, you can visit the official X Factor website on a smartphone, tablet or computer.
After logging in with one of the supported accounts, or registering, go to the voting section and choose Mad-Dog during the session in which they are taking part.
You don’t need a Sky decoder to vote on the website or in the app. Even viewers watching the show on NOW can use these options to cast their vote.
Voting with Sky Q, Sky Glass and Sky Stream
You can also televote directly from your TV using compatible devices:
- Sky Q: press the remote’s green button during the voting session.
- Sky Glass and Sky Stream: use the interactivity button and follow the on-screen instructions.
The device must be connected to the Internet. Once the interface opens, select the band and complete the steps shown.
When can you vote for Mad-Dog?
Voting takes place during the windows opened during the Live shows, following Giorgia’s announcements and the instructions shown on screen. The start of the broadcast does not necessarily mean that televoting is open.
Which contestants are available depends on the current session: look for Mad-Dog when they are taking part in the vote. Watching a replay or a video of their performance later does not reopen the voting window.

Is voting free? How many votes can you cast?
Televoting through the channels listed is free, although Internet connection charges may apply.
For the number of votes allowed, refer to the session instructions: the pages consulted do not specify a single verified limit for all the 2026 Live shows. If a code is requested, use only the one associated with Mad-Dog in the current vote.
From local rehearsal rooms to national television, the story of Mad-Dog from Sassari is now entering a phase in which public support also matters.
