Eurovision 2026: UK Track Record and Hopes In recent years, the United Kingdom’s Eurovision results have been mixed. Sam Ryder’s performance in 2022 earned the UK an impressive 2nd place finish, but the following year Mae Muller ended 25th (second-to-last) in 2023. The UK has not won Eurovision since 1997, so fans are eager for a turnaround. Many expect Look Mum No Computer’s imaginative, high-energy performance to give the UK a fresh edge. His use of homemade synthesizers and quirky gadgets could deliver a memorable show in Vienna. UK fans hope that this unconventional UK Eurovision act will captivate the international audience and improve the nation’s Eurovision fortunes. source: eurovision.com
