Where is Eurovision 2026 being held?
Eurovision 2026 will be held in Vienna, Austria, following JJ's victory in this year's contest in Basel, Switzerland with his song Wasted Love.
In August, the European Broadcasting Union and Austrian broadcaster ORF announced the capital Vienna as the host city, beating out the city of Innsbruck which also bid to host the event.
The competition will be held at the Wiener Stadthalle, which has a capacity for 16,000 fans, and was also the venue for the 2015 contest.
Where can I get tickets?
All tickets for the 70th Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna 2026 have sold out across all nine shows in record time.
Fans had until 23:59 CET on 18 December 2025 to register via eurovision.com before tickets went on sale on 13 January.
Those who registered but missed out will have another chance later in the year, when a small number of additional tickets are released.
Only fans who completed the original 2025 Eurofan sign-up and ticket registration will be eligible for this next sale.
Organisers have warned fans to avoid third-party resale sites, with an official resale platform to be announced in the coming months.

Spent a couple hours on Pokiig last week going through the puzzle section. A few of the games were more engaging than I expected — kept telling myself one more level and then lost track of time.
Recientemente he estado explorando distintos clubes de juegos online en USA, buscando uno que combine seguridad y entretenimiento sin complicaciones excesivas. Me llamó la atención cómo algunos foros describen la interfaz, la claridad de las tablas y la rapidez de respuesta en las apuestas. Por ejemplo, encontré que https://voltage-bet.org/casino/ ofrece una navegación sencilla y confiable, con opciones variadas que facilitan decidir sin saturarse de información técnica. La experiencia se siente auténtica y real, sin exageraciones innecesarias sobre el diseño.
I found website while looking for a more global perspective on dating, but I ended up finding some great local matches too. The security features and profile verification give me peace of mind, which is a big deal for me. It’s a straightforward, honest platform that doesn't waste your time. Definitely worth a try if you're serious about finding a partner in today's digital world!
Hey folks! I discovered this game site during a random late-night browsing session. Someone on a forum mentioned they like to spin slots at Mateslots casino after work. Since I’m based in Australia and enjoy pokies occasionally, I decided to try a few rounds. The interface was simple enough that I found a game quickly. After a few unlucky spins a feature round triggered and gave me a small but satisfying win.
Traditional mobile plans can be quite restrictive when it comes to international messaging and account verification for those living between countries. Visiting https://freezvon.com/en/blog/voip-solutions/virtual-phone-number-for-telegram provides a way to get a secondary number that is not tied to a physical location or hardware. It is the ultimate freedom for the modern, connected digital citizen.
