Eurovision Asia
Eurovision Song Contest Asia is the Asian counterpart to the Eurovision Song Contest, bringing together artists from across Asia to compete with original songs representing their countries. Each participating broadcaster selected its entry through a national selection, with the artists competing live.
The idea of an Asian Eurovision dates back to 2017, with several attempts to launch the competition over the years. After numerous delays and abandoned plans, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) partnered with Voxovation to bring the contest to life in 2026.
