X-Faktor returns for 2026 season with new hosts and mentors

The talent competition X-Faktor is returning for its 2026 season, with the audition phase scheduled to begin on the first weekend of September. Viewers can watch the first episodes on September 5 and September 6 on RTL and RTL+ Premium.

The mentor panel for the upcoming season includes Solére, Majka, Gáspár Laci, and ByeAlex. ByeAlex noted that his return to the show was unexpected, as he had previously decided to step away from the competition due to burnout, but felt a desire to discover new talent and missed the television environment.

Babett Köllő and Márk Ember will serve as the new hosts for the series. The competition structure will involve auditions, followed by a camp phase where contestants compete for spots in the live shows.
