Peacock, the American national broadcaster NBC’s streaming service, will broadcast the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest, live from Vienna. For the first time, American viewers will also get to watch the Contest for free, via YouTube.

Peacock will be streaming the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest live, as they have done every year since 2021. The broadcasts will start at 15:00 ET. Logo TV held the rights between 2016 & 2018, while Netflix held the rights for 2019 & 2020.

The Contest will be broadcast worldwide on YouTube for free, for the first time in 2026. Jurian Van Der Meer, Commercial Director of the European Broadcasting Union, confirmed at StreamTV Europe in Lisbon that YouTube will air all three live shows alongside NBC’s Peacock service.
