All You Need to Know About Eurovision Asia

The Eurovision brand continues its global expansion with Eurovision Song Contest Asia, launched in collaboration with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to mark the 70th anniversary of the original contest. Following the American Song Contest in 2022, which was not renewed for a second season, this new chapter aims to bring the beloved Eurovision format to a new continent and reach a massive potential audience of over 600 million viewers. Unlike the American adaptation that focused on a single nation, this is a large-scale, multi-national competition. The inaugural Grand Final will take place on November 14, 2026, at the One Bangkok Forum arena in Thailand, preceded by a Preview Show on November 13. Hosted by media figures Woody Milintachinda and Cindy Bishop, this historic edition will feature 11 countries: Thailand, South Korea, Vietnam, Philippines, Bangladesh, Mongolia, Nepal, Laos, Bhutan, Malaysia, and Cambodia.

Unlike the European format, the contest in Asia operates under a centralized production model. It is produced by the international production company Voxovation in partnership with the leading Asian production company S2O. This structure subsidizes the selection process in various countries, allowing nations with limited budgets to participate. Additionally, the winning country will not automatically host the contest the following year but will instead be invited to perform as a guest artist at the traditional Eurovision. The voting system has also been adapted for the continent, based entirely on a unified, free digital platform that combines televoting with professional juries, giving unprecedented decisive power to the international audience through the “Rest of the World” voting. Furthermore, ZOOP will serve as the exclusive social partner of the event, enabling fans to take an active role in the digital experience.
