Why is Eurovision in Burgas?
Burgas hosts the 71st edition of the Contest. Bulgaria earned the right to stage it when DARA won the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Vienna with the song “Bangaranga” — the country’s first victory in the history of the Contest. On 13 August 2026 the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and BNT named Burgas the host city. The Contest is staged at Arena Burgas — Bulgaria’s newest sports and entertainment venue, opened in 2023. The host broadcaster is BNT.
