Vienna, Austria

Eurovision Song Contest 2026

One song. One country. Douze points.

The 70th Eurovision Song Contest took place in Vienna on May 16, 2026, after Austria's JJ won in 2025 with “Wasted Love”. Just 35 countries took part, the fewest since semi-finals began in 2004, after Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain boycotted over Israel's participation. Bulgaria's DARA won with “Bangaranga” and 516 points, the country's first victory, ahead of Israel and Romania.
