Spain Eurovision Junior 2026 participation

Entities: RTVE · Manu Sánchez · El perro andaluz · Santiago Segura · Lolita Flores

Overview

In late July 2026 Spain’s public broadcaster RTVE confirmed that the nation will compete in the 24th Eurovision Junior Song Contest, scheduled for 24 October 2026 in Malta. This marked Spain’s continued involvement in the junior edition after its recent withdrawal from the senior contest.

A few days later, the TV programme El perro andaluz used its season finale to announce Spain’s representative for the junior competition. The reveal was part of a high‑viewership broadcast on La 1, and RTVE indicated the show will return in September with additional autumn programming.

Together, the announcements outline Spain’s confirmed entry and the method of selecting its act ahead of the October contest.
