Spain confirms participation in Eurovision Junior 2026
RTVE has confirmed that Spain will take part in the 24th Eurovision Junior Song Contest, scheduled for 24 October 2026 in Ta' Qali, Malta. Spain will be one of sixteen public broadcasters competing, alongside Albania, Armenia, Cyprus, France, Georgia, Ireland, Italy, North Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, San Marino and Ukraine.
Spain is a founding member of the junior competition, having first entered in 2003 and participating eleven times to date. The country’s 2025 entry, Gonzalo Pinillos, finished fifth with the song “Érase una vez”. RTVE’s involvement follows its withdrawal from the senior Eurovision contest over the participation of Israel, a broadcaster that does not take part in the junior edition. No decision has been announced regarding a possible return to the senior contest in 2027.
