Bulgaria has won the Eurovision 2026 contest in Vienna with Dara performing Bangaranga. France, represented by Monroe with her song Regarde !, finished in 11th place with 158 points.

With her song Bangaranga, Bulgarian singer Dara won over Europe and succeeds Switzerland's JJ, who triumphed last year with Wasted Love. Israel placed second with Noam Bettan and his song Michelle.

France has not won the contest since 1977 when Marie Myriam triumphed with L'oiseau et l'enfant. Monroe, aged 17, blended pop and lyric singing in Regarde !, which speaks of the universal love present in each of us.

The event took place at the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria, amid geopolitical tensions.
