Eight contenders in the battle to represent Bulgaria at “Eurovision 2026”

After a three-year break, Bulgaria is returning to the prestigious Eurovision Song Contest 2026, which will take place in May in Vienna. Eight of the original 15 contenders are moving forward tonight on BNT1, live at 9:00 PM, in the second stage of the national selection to choose the performer who will represent the country.

They are Kerana and the Cosmonauts, Mihaela Marinova, Molec, Roksana, DARA, Innerglow, MONA, and Preya. The participants are among the most played artists on radio and television this year, occupying leading positions in the BG Top 40 chart.

Each of them will present an original song. The winner, who will earn the right to represent Bulgaria, will be determined through a combined vote of the jury and the public via the website eurovision2026.bg.

On February 28, again live on BNT1 at 9:00 PM, the winner will perform three songs specially created for them. A combined vote of the jury and viewers will determine the song with which the performer will represent Bulgaria at Eurovision 2026.
