Israel’s participation in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest is expected, continuing a run that began with its debut in 1973. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) is responsible for organizing the contest, which is set to follow its established structure, including semi-finals and a grand final. While Israel is expected to take part, the host country for the 2026 edition has not yet been officially confirmed, and it is also unclear whether Israel will host the event.
Iceland has hosted the Eurovision Song Contest twice in its history, while Ukraine has also previously served as a host country. Despite this background of rotating hosts, the country set to host the 2026 edition has not been officially confirmed. The EBU continues to oversee the event, which brings together participating broadcasters from across Europe under a shared competition format.
