Eurovision.com – On November 23, 2025, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) announced that from December 2025, all information related to the Eurovision Song Contest will be available at the above web address, replacing the original website.
Eurovision.com – the new home of the Eurovision Song Contest
In preparation for the 2026 competition in Vienna, it will make a host of new features available on the new site. What is one of the biggest new features? A complete competition database containing information on all events from the past 70 years – with new artist profiles, song information, and the history of the competition dating back to 1956.
The new website also addresses the issue of personalization: users can now create their own Eurovision fan profile (Eurofan memebership account), which, according to the organizers, will provide early access to ticket purchases, exclusive merchandise products, and other special benefits, personalized content, and behind-the-scenes moments not available anywhere else.
In addition, the Eurovision Song Contest mobile app and the Junior Eurovision website will also be updated in the coming months. New features will be launched in February, and the latest competition news will also be published here in the future.
Eurovision.com – the history of the Eurovision Song Contest’s online presence
The Eurovision Song Contest always strives to be at the forefront, including in its use of internet technologies, which may have reached a new chapter with the latest anniversary edition in Vienna.
The first online platform for the EBU’s continental music competition dates back to Spring 2002, which was interesting in several respects. That year, Tallinn, Estonia, hosted the Eurovision Song Contest after Tanel Padar, Dave Benton and 2XL, representing the country, won first place in the previous year’s competition in Denmark with the song Everybody. The Estonians achieved many firsts that year: it was the first time that a country that had only joined the EU in 1994 had hosted the Eurovision Song Contest, 2002 was the first time that the contest had an audiovisual theme, and, as already mentioned, the Eurovision.tv website was also launched that year.
The most noticeable change compared to previous editions was indeed the theme, which in 2002 was given the slogan “The Modern Fairytale.” Perhaps it was precisely this modernity that led to the launch of the song contest’s website, which initially provided information about the event, the contestants, and the results of the competition.
Interestingly, although the Eurovision.tv domain name was registered in the year 2000*, for a year and a half after registration it was a currency exchange website**, and only then, in 2002, did it come under the management of its current owner, the Geneva-based EBU. The new web address, Eurovision.com, which has just been launched, has a much more interesting history.
The Eurovision.com domain name was registered back in 1996, but actual content only became available half a decade later – from overseas. The Eurovision.com domain previously contained information about a US company* which, interestingly, was involved in providing television content, internet broadcasting, and distributing various technical devices, but had no connection to the Swiss-based EBU or the music competition that has been running since 1956. (We found no reliable information about a connection between the two organizations during our research). The company ceased to exist in the early 2010s*, leaving the domain orphaned, and after a brief detour, it came under the management of the European Broadcasting Union at the end of 2014*.
Eurovision.com – what can we expect from the new website?
The new Eurovision Song Contest website is expected to be much more compact: the latest information on the Eurovision Song Contest and Junior Eurovision Song Contest will be available under one roof, and it will look much more like the traditional website and the mobile app, which is also undergoing redesign, on mobile devices. (These are, of course, only preliminary estimates based on the structure of the new website and the availability* of the web addresses currently in use and those used in the new concept.)
One thing is certain: our portal, OurVision.tv, will continue to welcome all Eurovision fans and enthusiasts at its usual location, with the usual detail and authenticity.
