Bulgaria’s Dara has won the 70th Eurovision Song Contest with 516 points for her song “Banagaranga.”
Israel’s Noam Bettan came second with 343 points for his track “Michelle” while Alexandra Căpitănescu, who was representing Romania, took home third place with 296.

Australia and Italy rounded out the top five with Delta Goodrem’s song “Eclipse” coming in fourth place (with 287 points) and Sal Da Vinci, who sang “Per Sempre Sì,” coming in at number five (with 281 points).
Taking place at the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria, this year’s contest, which was themed “United by Music,” represented the 70th anniversary of the competition. It first launched in 1956, making it the world’s longest-running annual international televised music competition.
Despite some protests, including the boycott of five countries, this was the second year that Israel came in second place after Yuval Raphael performed her track “New Day Will Rise.”
This year 35 countries voted in the competition, with votes weighted equally between each country’s juries and the audience.
Last year’s winner, Switzerland’s JJ, was at the competition to hand over the glass trophy to Dara. JJ won in 2025 with the song “Waster Love,” garnering 436 points.
