Hungary withdrew from the Eurovision Song Contest in 2019 after the edition held in Tel Aviv, and has since opposed a return each year. Lately, there has been a shift in Hungary’s approach. Although a comeback is not expected for Eurovision 2026, the country’s return as early as next year is a distinct possibility.
