Slovenia to air Palestine films instead of Eurovision 2026

musicApr 24, 2026647

RTV Slovenija announced it will not broadcast the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 and will replace the live show with a Palestine-focused film program titled "Voices of Palestine." Ireland's and Spain's national broadcasters have also confirmed they will not air Eurovision 2026, joining the boycott over Israel's participation. The three public broadcasters are substituting the contest with Palestine-themed programming to protest Israel's role and to foreground Palestinian stories. The decision cuts live national TV access to Eurovision in those markets and shows broadcasters using programming choices to register political objections ahead of the contest.
