It is now official! The Eurovision Song Contest Asia will take place for the first time in Thailand this November. With ten countries already having confirmed their participation, the Contest will be broadcast live from Bangkok, the country’s capital, on November 14, 2026.
The EBU and Voxovation production company, in collaboration with S20 company and Thailand’s public broadcaster, are delighted to announce the Eurovision Song Contest Asia. Public broadcasters from ten countries will bring their own voice, identity and story to the stage, with more to be added in the future. This marks the first multi-country expansion of the Eurovision Song Contest, with entries to be selected through national finals in the coming months.
The EBU states in its press release:
“On the 70th anniversary of the world’s largest live music event, the Eurovision Song Contest
is now opening a new chapter in Asia shaped by the region’s diversity, creativity and cultural
identity, and grounded in the same spirit that has always defined the Contest: United by
Music.
For seven decades, the Eurovision Song Contest has brought countries together through
music, storytelling and live television, reaching audiences of hundreds of millions every year.
Now, in collaboration with leading broadcasters and production companies across Asia,
Eurovision Song Contest Asia will build on that legacy, creating a new shared stage where
cultures meet, voices are amplified, and creative communities connect across borders.
Designed to grow with the region, the format brings together countries representing more
than 600 million people. With no comparable pan-Asian platform today, it is set to become
one of the region’s most talked-about entertainment events.
Rooted in the same spirit that has defined Eurovision for generations, the Contest carries
forward a simple but powerful idea, connecting people through music and shared
experiences. In Asia, that idea will take on new meaning, shaped by the region’s
extraordinary diversity and creative energy.”
Martin Green, Director of Eurovision, stated regarding Eurovision Asia:
“As we mark the 70th anniversary of the Eurovision Song Contest, it feels especially meaningful to open this next chapter with Asia, a region rich in culture, creativity and talent.This is about evolving Eurovision together with Asia, building something that reflects the voices, identities and ambitions of the region, while staying true to what has always made the Contest special. Eurovision Song Contest Asia will be shaped by the artists, broadcasters and audiences who make it their own, continuing our shared journey of being United by Music.”
The host city, Bangkok, is a place where tradition and modern expression coexist harmoniously, offering a natural home for a contest built on diversity and exchange, connecting artists and audiences from across the region. Hosting the Eurovision Song Contest Asia is expected to generate strong international visibility for Bangkok, while supporting tourism, job creation and the continued growth of Thailand’s creative industries.
The inaugural Eurovision Asia will bring together public broadcasters from across the region, each representing their country with original music and national talent.
