The eleventh season of Australian Idol premiered on 2 February 2026.[1] This is the fourth season airing on Seven Network, after they bought the rights to the series from Network 10. The grand final was won by Kesha Oayda on 14th April 2026.
In April 2025, it was officially revealed that the show had been renewed by Seven Network for an eleventh season, set to premiere in 2026.[2] It was revealed that Ricki-Lee and Scott Tweedie would both return as hosts, and Kyle Sandilands, Marcia Hines and Amy Shark would all be returning as judges.[3] Seven later confirmed the 2026 cast at their upfronts on 22 October 2025.[4]
Auditions
Auditions were held in various cities around Australia. In a few cases, a single judge visited a remote location to audition contestants by themselves. Like last season, contestants were not guaranteed a "golden ticket" if they got two or three "yes" votes from the judges. Instead, they were sent to a holding area until the end of the day, when the judges would further narrow down the contestants they saw, potentially have some contestants sing again, and decide who made the Top 30.[5]

Live performances
During each round of the live performances, each contestant sings a song with a given theme. After all contestants have sung, the judges choose one contestant to directly advance to the next stage; then, the public is given approximately 24 hours to vote for their favourite singers. During the results night, after voting has closed, the four contestants with the fewest votes sing again—in pairs. The singer with the lowest number of votes, per each pair, is eliminated from the competition.
