🇧🇬 BNT has now begun the host city bidding process for Eurovision 2027, with Burgas, Plovdiv, Sofia and Varna confirmed as the cities bidding to host next year.
According to BNT Director General Milena Milotinova, the host city is expected to be selected by the end of July.
📊 #Eurovision 2026 reached 131 million people across 35 TV markets, down 35 million or 21% from 2025.
This year's Grand Final achieved an average viewing share of 43%, down 5% from last year.
Winning broadcaster BNT achieved a viewing share of 46%, their highest ever.
🇲🇩 TRM's director general Vlad Țurcanu has resigned after criticism because of Moldova's jury awarding 3 points to Romania and none to Ukraine in the #Eurovision 2026 final.
"The jury did not take into account the sensitivities that exist between Moldova and our two neighbors."
This years pattern of declining numbers for #Eurovisión continued with average audience of 5.2m for final on BBC1, still attracted half of all those watching tv across 4 hour duration but down on last years 6.7m. Pattern of poor UK results continued too! Ratings data @Digital_i_
Can finally tweet so my thoughts on last night
. Bulgaria deserved winner
. Shocked how badly Sweden did
. Despite the result proud of LMNC
. Applaud the UK delegation for doing something different and taking a risk but needs a complete change of team for 2027
🇧🇬 BNT Director General Milena Milotinova has confirmed Bulgaria's intent to host #Eurovision 2027.
"I am so proud of DARA's performance. I'm so proud to say - welcome to Sofia next year."
🇨🇿 Czechia will not perform again as per EBU's statement:
"There was a small camera issue during the performance of Czechia's song at the Grand Final [...] The artist’s performance and audio were not affected so the song will not be performed again."
🇧🇪 Belgian broadcaster VRT has called for "a direct vote on which countries participate [at #Eurovision] and a clear stand against war and violence."
If these conditions are not met, "the chances are slim that VRT will send an artist next year."
TONIGHT IS THE GRAND FINAL! Vote for the music! If you at all wanna vote for uk we are 14! But most importantly. Enjoy the show and creativity of it all. #eurovision
