Overview
- Regional TV carries a 19:30 pre-show, the 20:30 final, and a 22:30 aftershow, with Jochem van Gelder, Linda Geerdink and Rik Bronkhorst presenting the main broadcast.
- Public voting opens for roughly 30 minutes during the live show via SMS, phone and QR codes, alongside points from 13 regional juries and a new AI juror named Robin that analyzes song lyrics.
- A concurrent YouTube broadcast targets younger audiences with behind-the-scenes greenroom coverage hosted by Stefania Liberakakis, Davine Perik and Ezra van Hamelen.
- Thirteen regional acts perform in a set running order, with Groningen opening the show and all entries representing their home broadcasters.
- Pre-event Spotify data reported by regional outlets places Flevoland’s Luca Ferron as the most-streamed act, a popularity signal that does not determine the combined voting outcome.
