Intervision 2026 (Arabic: إنترفيجن 2026)[7][8] is an upcoming international song competition to take place in 2026. It is set to be the second edition of the revival of the Intervision Song Contest following its relaunch in 2025, despite having a different organiser, format and set of participating countries compared to the original run.[a] The contest will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.[10][11][12]

Location

[edit]

In June 2025, Mikhail Shvydkoy, a member of the organising committee of Intervision 2025, stated that a second edition of the contest could be hosted the following year in China, adding that "holding the competition in different countries is part of the very concept of Intervision".[13]

On 20 September 2025, during the final of Intervision 2025, it was announced that the 2026 edition would be hosted in Saudi Arabia[14] after Saudi authorities expressed their readiness to host the event as part of their Saudi Vision 2030 strategic framework.[15][16][17] Several days later, it was announced that the contest would be held in Riyadh.[1][2]

Konstantin Ernst, CEO of Channel One Russia, confirmed in an interview with RIA Novosti that the broadcaster is ready to help Saudi Arabia in hosting the contest in 2026, if necessary.[18][19][20]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The Intervision Song Contest was organised by the International Radio and Television Organisation (OIRT), which was effectively dissolved with the fall of communism and incorporated into the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) in 1993, between 1965 and 1980. The 2025 revival was organised, among others, by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in direct response to the exclusion of Russia from the Eurovision Song Contest, with no acknowledgement or involvement from the EBU or its member broadcasters, although several participating broadcasters were original members of the OIRT.[9]
