The European Broadcasting Union has announced the changes following an annual review of the song contest.

Ireland is among a number of countries that pulled out of the contest over Israel’s participation in 2026.

Groups and individuals have reacted to the broadcaster’s decision not to participate in or air Eurovision in 2026.

The American actor is basing the project on his Netflix movie, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story Of Fire Saga.

It comes after the EBU said it would review the competition after some delegations ‘didn’t respect the spirit of the rules’ during the contest.
