Overview

  • ARD’s show drew 4.55 million viewers for a 25.7% market share, the day’s highest reach, according to provisional AGF SCOPE figures reported by DWDL.
  • ZDF’s ‘Willkommen 2026’ averaged 2.47 million viewers and 14.1% overall, but led among 14–49-year-olds with 760,000 viewers and 21.8% versus ARD’s 540,000 and 15.4%.
  • Florian Silbereisen hosted the live event from FC Bayern’s BMW Park in Munich before a sold-out crowd, with a simulcast on ORF and SRF.
  • Notable on-air moments included Maite Kelly’s suggestive opening lyrics drawing viewer comments on X, Stefan Mross freeing a tangled in‑ear and guitar strap on camera, and Howard Carpendale clarifying it was a tour farewell rather than full retirement.
  • Social media and reports cited rain, wind, technical glitches and visible crowd gaps at the ZDF show in Hamburg, where hosts Andrea Kiewel and Johannes B. Kerner bridged on-air hitches.
