Thailand
Thailand is the host country — the Grand Final takes place in Bangkok on 14 November 2026.
Broadcaster: Channel 3 — Channel 3 is both Thailand's national broadcaster for Thailand's Chosen One and the host broadcaster for the entire contest — meaning it has more invested in Eurovision Asia 2026 than any other participating broadcaster. The Grand Final itself is being produced by S2O Productions, a Thai events company best known for large-scale music festivals.
