Dara Wins 516 Points for Bulgaria at Eurovision 2026 — Who Gave Uk 1 Point

Dara won the 70th Eurovision Song Contest for Bulgaria with who gave uk 1 point hanging over the final vote and Bangaranga carrying her to 516 points. The result gave Bulgaria its first Eurovision victory and settled the contest’s race at the top.

Bulgaria's 516-point finish

516 points is the number that ended the night: Dara beat the field in the final after winning over both the audience and the national juries. Bulgaria sat on 204 points after the jury vote alone, with the televote still to come, and that cushion put it ahead once the final totals were combined.

204 points also had Bulgaria leading the jury table before the public vote finished the job. Australia and Denmark were tied in second place with 165 points after the jury vote, France followed with 144 points, and Finland had 141 points. That left the title fight concentrated at the top rather than spread across the field.

The jury spread

5 points from Austria went to Great Britain during the voting, while the British side also landed in a bizarrely thin result elsewhere: England came away with zero points, and the article said the British only got one point. Germany also scored zero points, and Belgium got zero points as well.

4 points from the Swiss national jury went to Bulgaria, a smaller but telling piece of the jury map that helped build the final margin. The article framed the contest against a race between Israel and Bulgaria, and said Israel had been in front at one point while the hall filled with booing. That late atmosphere turned the vote into more than a routine tally.

What Bulgaria gets next

1 point is the headline number British readers will remember, but the bigger consequence is Bulgaria’s first Eurovision win and the right to host next year’s contest. Dara’s result closes the 70th edition with one country on top, one song attached to the trophy, and Bulgaria in position to stage the next show.
