The songwriter behind France’s Junior Eurovision 2025 victory may step into the spotlight herself, as reports suggest she could represent France at Eurovision 2026.
In recent days, unofficial sources in the French media have reported that the singer selected to represent France at Eurovision 2026 has already been chosen. Linh, 30, a well-known French singer-songwriter, is the artist who according to multiple reports is expected to represent France in the prestigious competition.
According to these reports, the selection of Linh follows the significant attention she received as the songwriter behind “Ce Monde” (in English: “This World”), the song that secured France an impressive victory at Junior Eurovision 2025, held last month.
The song “Ce Monde“, written by Linh, led the young singer Lou Deleuze to victory at the Junior Eurovision, which took place in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, on December 13th, 2025. The win amassed 248 points and awarded France its fourth Junior Eurovision title in the competition’s history.
Although no official confirmation has yet been issued by the French national broadcaster, the extensive coverage in the French media has positioned Linh as one of the leading candidates to represent the country at Eurovision 2026. It is, without question, a particularly intriguing musical choice: the songwriter who brought France first place at Junior Eurovision could now be on course to aim for victory at Eurovision itself.
Speculation and Fan Reactions
Numerous rumors circulating online primarily among Eurovision fans have fueled further speculation. Many have pointed out that Linh recently adjusted the dates of her concert tour. The original dates were scheduled to coincide with Eurovision 2026 events, and their postponement has led fans to wonder whether she has cleared her schedule in preparation for participating in the contest.
As of now, there is still no official confirmation from the French national broadcaster. Nevertheless, the rumors continue to gain momentum, and fans are increasingly asking: if the reports are accurate, what will Linh bring to the Eurovision stage as a front-line performer? Expectations among fans are high for a strong song accompanied by a memorable performance.

France at Eurovision 2025
“maman” (in English: “Mom”) is the title of the song to be performed by the singer, Louane, who represented France at Eurovision 2025, in Basel, Switzerland. France finished seventh in the final with 230 points. France was ranked third by the judges, but the young singer received only 14th place from the public vote. The seventh place overall was considered low compared to France’s pre-contest odds, where it was ranked third.
This marks the second consecutive year that France has finished in the top 10 at the Eurovision final.
Eurovision 2026: This will be France’s 67th participation in Eurovision. France joined the competition in 1956 and has won it five times over the years. France’s last victory was in Eurovision 1977 with the song “L’Oiseau et l’Enfant” performed by singer Marie Myriam.
