This year, a number of countries will boycott the contest following the European Broadcasting Union’s decision not to expel Israel from the competition.
The EBU said in a statement: "A large majority of members agreed that there was no need for a further vote on participation and that the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 should proceed as planned, with the additional safeguards in place."
Irish broadcaster RTÉ said: "RTÉ feels that Ireland’s participation remains unconscionable given the appalling loss of lives in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis there, which continues to put the lives of so many civilians at risk."
The Eurovision Song Contest 2026 final will take place on Saturday 16 May 2026.
