European Broadcasting Union, also known as EBU, is a non-profit organization headquartered in Switzerland. Founded in 1950, with approximately 460 employees, the organization reported $266.9M in revenue as of 2024 and functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The company's core focus is content rights, promoting public service media, with 115 member organizations in 56 countries and an additional 31 Associates across Asia, Africa, Australasia, and the Americas. EBU also operates Eurovision and Euroradio.
On August 20, 2026, fourteen EBU Members and partner broadcasters across 13 countries committed to broadcasting the Mediterranean Games Taranto 2026 to audiences across Europe and North Africa, with the multi-sport event set to commence the following day. Previously, on August 18, the EBU released a report exploring the increasing role of video games as tools for learning, creativity, health, and wellbeing within Europe's cultural landscape and their implications for public service media. Earlier, on August 15, the European Broadcasting Union confirmed it is considering significant changes to public voting rules for the Eurovision Song Contest, including a proposal, initially detailed on August 14, to replace phone calls and SMS voting with an online top-three system. This initiative aims to reduce the impact of coordinated and politically motivated campaigns on contest results, stemming from concerns over organized voting campaigns and political influence. Also on August 14, Moroccanoil, an Israeli-founded hair-care brand, announced it will not renew its sponsorship of the Eurovision Song Contest after its six-year contract concludes.
