- Forty-three countries competed, equalling the all-time participation record, with Russia returning and no prior-year participants withdrawing.
- Israel won with Netta’s “Toy”, while Cyprus and the Czech Republic achieved their best-ever placings, and the audience rose to 186 million.
- Several controversies marked the event: Belarus’s entry faced rule-eligibility disputes over an earlier performance; China’s Mango TV censored Albania and Ireland and blurred LGBT imagery, prompting the EBU to terminate the broadcast deal; and the United Kingdom’s live final performance was disrupted by a stage invader, leading to edited official reuploads.
