Eurovision Songs 2026: Every country's song selection for this year's contest

Are you ready to be United by Music? Because the greatest show on earth, the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest, is nearly upon us.

Hosted in Vienna, Austria following JJ's win with Wasted Love in Basel last year, the Eurovision Grand Final will be held on Saturday May 16 2026. But, before that, each country must choose its musical ambassador, many of whom will then compete in the semi-finals.

Five nations – Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain – have opted not to participate this year, in protest against Israel's inclusion within the context of the ongoing Gaza war. However, there are still representatives from 35 countries taking part – including, for the first time since 2022, Bulgaria,

So, let's take a look at all 35 competing songs.
