Eurovision Asia 2026 National Selections Schedule Announced

The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) released the timetable for the national finals that will decide the entries for Eurovision Asia 2026, which will be held in Bangkok, Thailand on 14 November. Eight countries have confirmed dates: Bhutan (11 August), Malaysia (15 August), the Philippines (30 August), South Korea (4 September), Nepal (19 September), Laos (23‑24 September), Thailand (27 September) and Bangladesh (30 September). Cambodia will hold its selection in early September and Vietnam has yet to set a date.

All national finals will be streamed live on the participating broadcasters’ websites and on the official Eurovision YouTube channel, with a Rest‑of‑World public vote available worldwide. The contest will follow the standard Eurovision rules – songs no longer than three minutes and a maximum of six performers on stage – and the winner will be chosen by an equal split of televoting and jury voting.
