Eurovision Asia 2026 is almost here, darling, and the competition is already getting serious. Today, 13 November, the international contest holds its Jury Final in Bangkok, with professional juries deciding half the points before tomorrow’s historic live broadcast.
It’s officially Eurovision weekend, and for the first time, we’re heading to Asia.
After days of rehearsals at One Bangkok Forum, the 11 competing acts are preparing for two crucial performances: today’s Jury Final and Saturday’s televised Grand Final.
And while the trophy won’t be awarded until tomorrow, tonight’s performances could make all the difference.
Eurovision Asia Jury Final: What Happens Today?
Rehearsals – Bhutan
The Jury Final takes place on Friday 13 November at 13:30 GMT, giving professional juries from all 11 participating countries the opportunity to assess the performances.
Each national jury comprises five members, and together the juries will account for 50% of the final result.
The remaining half will come from the public vote during Saturday’s live show.
In other words, your favourite could give an incredible performance tomorrow, but tonight’s jury scores will still be crucial.
The juries’ results will not be revealed until the Grand Final.
Eleven Countries, One Historic Winner
Vietnam’s Tóc Tiên will open the competition with EM TIÊN, while Malaysia’s Aina Abdul will close the show with Bluest Sky.
Between them, artists from Cambodia, Laos, Mongolia, Bhutan, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Thailand, South Korea and Nepal will compete for the first Eurovision Asia trophy.
The host nation is represented by MANG x DAOU with Aroma, while South Korea brings JUNHEE’s DEEP DIVE.
Special guests will include Eurovision 2026 winner DARA, performing a new version of Bangaranga, and Thai star Jeff Satur.
After months of national selections and rehearsals, the stage is finally ready.
How to Watch and Vote From the UK
