Eurovision has shown a noticeable dip compared with the previous year, yet it remains a focal point for audiences across the festival season. The program secured a 39.7% share of the overall audience and drew 4,839,000 viewers, reflecting a decline of about 11 points and almost 2 million viewers from the prior year when the event reached 6,835,000 viewers with a 50.8% share. The voting phase, however, drew stronger engagement, capturing 47.6% of the audience and 5,134,000 viewers, though this still marks a drop of roughly 14 points after last year’s performance of 61.3% and 7,942,000 viewers.
