Australia at Eurovision 2026: The Australian entry for Eurovision 2026, which will be held in Vienna, Austria, will be revealed on Sunday, March 1st.
Australia is one of the last participating countries yet to announce when it will reveal its artist and song for Eurovision 2026.

The information was shared via the official calendar of Eurovision.com, which is updated weekly with all upcoming Eurovision-related events.
In the days leading up to the announcement of the reveal date, Australia has slightly climbed in the betting odds and is currently ranked 12th, with a 3% chance of winning, compared with 16th place just a few days ago.

Growing speculation around the Australian representative
At the beginning of the week, an Australian magazine, Woman’s Day, reported that the singer who is most likely to represent Australia at Eurovision 2026 in Vienna is Delta Goodrem, a highly popular singer and actress known for her numerous television roles and hit songs. According to the report, following the internal decision, the singer has already begun working in secret on her performance for the contest.
These reports emerged after extensive rumours suggesting that Australia would be represented by singer Dami Im, who grabbed second place at Eurovision exactly a decade ago with “Sound of Silence“. In the end, the singer stated that she would not be the country’s representative at the upcoming contest, but surprised fans when she publicly expressed her support for Delta, revealing that she considers her “the most deserving representative for Australia”, further strengthening speculation around Delta’s selection. On Sunday, the public will finally find out whether these rumours were accurate.
Delta Goodrem – Who Are You?
Delta Goodrem, 41, born in Sydney, is a successful Australian singer, songwriter, pianist, and actress. She began her professional journey as a child, appearing in commercials and minor acting roles. Her breakthrough came in 2002, when she portrayed Nina Tucker on the popular soap opera “Neighbours”. Her success on the show paved the way for a meteoric music career. Her debut album “Innocent Eyes” (2003) became one of the best-selling albums in Australian history, featuring major hits such as “Born to Try”, “Lost Without You”, and “Innocent Eyes”.
At the height of her early fame, at just 18 years old, Delta was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Her battle with — and recovery from — the illness deeply influenced her creative work, especially on her second album “Mistaken Identity”. Over the years, she has solidified her status as a pop icon, with eight singles reaching number one on the Australian charts and dozens of music awards. Beyond her music career, she is widely recognized as a beloved mentor on the Australian edition of “The Voice”, where she served for many years.
Now it appears that Delta will represent Australia at Eurovision 2026 — a choice that could prove especially exciting and might bring the country back to the Eurovision Grand Final after two years of non-qualification. All that remains is to watch developments in the coming weeks and wait in suspense to see whether the rumors are indeed true.
Australia at Eurovision 2025
“Milkshake Man” is the title of the song performed by singer Go-Jo, who represented Australia in the second semi-final of Eurovision 2025 in Basel, Switzerland. Australia did not qualify for the Grand Final and finished in 11th place out of 16, with only 41 points.
This was the second consecutive year in which the country failed to qualify for the Grand Final — a first in Australia’s Eurovision history — with two straight years ending in 11th place in its semi-final, each time with 41 points.
Eurovision 2026: This will be Australia’s 11th participation in Eurovision. Australia joined the competition in 2015 and got its best result at Eurovision 2016 when singer Dami Im got second place with her song “Sound of Silence”.
