contents We investigate whether a violation of the distance duality relation (DDR), $D_L(z) = (1+z)^2 D_A(z)$, connecting the angular diameter and luminosity distances, can explain the Hubble tension and alter the evidence for dynamical dark energy in recent cosmological observations. We constrain five phenomenological parameterisations of DDR violation using Baryon Acoustic Oscillation measurements from the DESI survey calibrated with the sound horizon derived from \textit{Planck} Cosmic Microwave Background data and the Pantheon+ Type Ia supernova (SNIa) catalogue calibrated with the supernova absolute magnitude from S$H_0$ES. We find that two toy models can resolve the tension: a constant offset in the DDR (equivalent to a shift in the calibration of the SNIa data), $D_L(z)/D_A(z)\simeq 0.925(1+z)^2$, which leaves the hint for evolving dark energy unaffected; or a change in the power-law redshift-dependence of the DDR, restricted to $z\lesssim 1$, $D_L(z)/D_A(z)\simeq(1+z)^{1.866}$, together with a {\it constant} phantom dark energy equation of state $w\sim -1.155$. The Bayesian evidence slightly favours the latter model. Our phenomenological approach motivates the investigation of physical models of DDR violation as a novel way to explain the Hubble tension.
