Bulgaria won the Eurovision Song Contest 2026
...Bulgaria won the Contest with a points tally of 516.
As is tradition at the Eurovision Song Contest, scores were awarded first from the juries, followed by the dramatic reveal of the public televote. Bulgaria's Bangaranga smashed the jury vote with a score of 204 points. This was followed by a televote total of 312 points.
The song ended up winning both sets of scores, which is the first time the juries and the public have chosen the same winner in almost 10 years, since Kyiv 2017.
Bangaranga won the Contest with a 173-point lead over the song in second place, which makes it the biggest winning margin we've ever seen at the Eurovision Song Contest, beating the 169 lead that Alexander Rybak's Fairytale won with at Moscow 2009.
In second place was Israel, with Michelle by Noam Bettan, while in third place we had another country that returned to the Eurovision Song Contest in 2026 - Romania, represented by Alexandra Căpitănescu and Choke Me.
Australia and Italy rounded out the Top 5, in fourth place and fifth place respectively...
