Bulgarian National Television to Hold National Selection for Bulgaria’s Entry in Eurovision Song Contest 2026

Bulgarian National Television (BNT), Bulgaria’s public service broadcaster and a member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), will organise a national selection to choose the artist and song to represent Bulgaria in the international stage of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026.

Fifteen Bulgarian performers have been invited to participate, selected from the most broadcast artists on national radio and television this year. The list includes those who achieved top positions in the “BG Top 40” chart by the PROPHON association, and who have had a significant presence on streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, alongside strong social media engagement. The selection aims to balance established radio and TV artists with performers showing creative potential and success on digital music platforms.

Participating artists will take part in a televised music show broadcast live by BNT across three stages in January and February 2026. The winner will be determined through a combined vote of the television audience and a professional jury.
