Hungary: MTVA is not going to broadcast Eurovision 2024!

This year’s Eurovision Song Contest 2024 will not be broadcast in Hungary!

Hungary’s national broadcaster, MTVA, will not broadcast the Eurovision contest this year either. The last time this central European country took part was in 2019 and since then it has not broadcast the competition again. The previous time the country withdrew from the competition, in 2010 for financial reasons, the three nights were broadcast normally.

Hungary withdrew in 2019 ahead of Eurovision 2020. When the EBU in November 2019 published the list of participating countries, Hungary was missing. The state channel did not make any public statement about the reasons for the withdrawal.

In the country’s last participation in Eurovision 2019, it was represented for the second time by Joci Pápai and the song “Az én apám” without, however, being able to qualify for the final as it finished in 12th place in the first semi-final.
