The Eurovision Song Contest final has become more accessible to US viewers in recent years, with options now including Peacock streaming and the official YouTube channel that carries the international feed. Hardcore fans typically prefer the BBC broadcast for Graham Norton's witty commentary. However, this year marks an unusual boycott by several traditional Eurovision countries including Ireland, Slovenia, and Spain, which are protesting Israel's participation amid its military campaign in Gaza. As a result, these countries' national broadcasters will not air the competition.
