- The contest was hosted in Liverpool on behalf of Ukraine after the EBU ruled that the 2022 winner could not provide required security guarantees due to Russia’s invasion, marking the first time since 1980 that the winning country did not stage the next event.
- Participation fell to 37 countries, the lowest since 2014, amid withdrawals linked to financial pressures.
- Technical issues at the start of the first semi-final cut most on-site commentators’ connections for about 15 minutes, and San Marino’s invalid televote in semi-final 2 was replaced by a backup jury result.
- Sweden won with Loreen, who became only the second two-time winner and tied Ireland’s record seventh victory, but the result proved controversial after Finland won the televote by a record non-winning margin and Sweden received no public-vote 12 points.
