35h/ Tuesday
Austria will host the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Vienna for the third time, with finals scheduled for May 16 and semi-finals earlier that week. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) postponed a decision on Israel's participation until its December 2025 general assembly, where it will also discuss new rule changes to enhance the contest's unity and impartiality following controversies in the 2025 contest. The EBU announced voting reforms for Eurovision 2026 that include limiting public votes, reintroducing professional juries with a 50/50 split between jury and public votes, and banning disproportionate government-backed promotions to maintain neutrality.
