Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged 32, also known as ESCT #32, was the thirty-second edition of Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged. The contest was held at the Grieg Hall, in Bergen, Norway, for the second time in the history of the country, following Norway's victory at the 31st edition in Zagreb with the song "Strangers", performed by Sigrid, with 169 points and only 11 points of margin with the runner-up Switzerland. The show was hosted by the current winner Sigrid and the actress Josefine Frida Pettersen.

Forty-three countries officially confirmed their participation in the 32nd edition of the contest. Another six countries decided to withdraw from the contest due to different reasons. Luxembourg, who was fined with a edition of no participation and Netherlands withdrew for the first time ever since their debut; Germany and Italy decided not to participate and take a break from the contest while Czech Republic and Macedonia could not participate because of budget cuts. In the meantime, Azerbaijan was the only country that returned to the contest after withdrawing last edition due to some polemics with Armenia.
