History
On 29 March 2026, a website was launched, claiming that the contest would take place on 14 November in Bangkok, provisionally featuring nine countries which included Thailand.[1] The website was temporarily taken offline a few hours later.[2] The contest was formally announced on 31 March 2026 under the name Eurovision Song Contest Asia with Thailand's Channel 3 serving as the host broadcaster. The initial announcement listed ten participants (the aforementioned countries and South Korea) alongside their respective broadcasters.[3][4] The inaugural contest will take place in Bangkok, Thailand at the IdeaLive Arena on 14 November 2026.[5] Consisting of a single show, the results will be decided by a 50/50 split of professional jury voting and public voting. Each competing entry must be under three minutes and performed by no more than six people.[6]
