Eurovision 2026: Vienna will host the 70th edition of the contest from May 12 to 16.
This morning, the EBU and ORF, the Austrian broadcaster, revealed the dates for Eurovision 2026 and the host city. Vienna will host the 70th edition of the contest from May 12 to 16, 2026.
This is not the Austrian capital's first attempt: it previously hosted the contest in 1967, after Udo Jürgens' victory, and then in 2015, following Conchita Wurst's triumph with Rise Like A Phoenix. It is now preparing to organize a historic edition, marking 70 years of Eurovision.
Vienna was chosen over Innstruck after an evaluation of infrastructure, capacity, and experience in hosting international events. As in 2015, the Wiener Stadthalle will be the venue for the show next May.
We are now eagerly awaiting news of how the city will prepare for the festivities. And don't hesitate to check out notre guide pratique de l’Eurovision 2026 en Autriche.
