Vizrt lands Eurovision 2026 graphics and AR duties
Vizrt has been selected as the Official Technical Supplier for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026, in collaboration with host broadcaster ORF. The company will provide its real-time 3D graphics rendering, compositing (Viz Engine), and virtual and augmented reality (Viz Virtual Studio) solutions for the live television production.
Key Takeaways
- ORF selected Vizrt as an Official Technical Supplier for Eurovision Song Contest 2026.

- Viz Virtual Studio will provide virtual environments and augmented reality graphics for the broadcast.

Why It Matters
This gives Vizrt a high-profile live-production assignment for a show that ORF describes as requiring scale, redundancy, and creative ambition. It also shows how real-time graphics, AR, and compositing remain core infrastructure for large live events, not just scripted programming. Vizrt is already used by more than 6,600 broadcasters, media organizations, and enterprises worldwide, and Eurovision adds another visible reference point for that stack. Watch for how ORF uses Viz Engine across the live shows, especially for the country score graphics that run throughout the competition.
