The Eurovision Song Contest is a long established musical competition but in 2026 we have a new contest and cannot wait to make our Eurovision Asia 2026 predictions. 2026 is an extremely exciting time for Eurovision fans because, not only have we enjoyed the original Eurovision Song Contest, but we also have a second competition to watch. The question is, who will start as the Eurovision Asia 2026 favourites?

1. Eurovision Asia 2026 Preview

The Eurovision 2026 Asia dates have been announced and the inaugural contest will take place on the 14th of November 2026. The event will be staged at the IdeaLive Arena in Bangkok, Thailand. As this is the first edition of Eurovision Asia, there be one show and the winner will be decided by a 50% professional judges vote and 50% public vote. Each participating country has been asked to stage their own competitions to find a winning entry but some, such as Malaysia, might opt for a private selection. It will be interesting to see who makes the cut as we make our Eurovision Asia 2026 betting tips.

The Eurovision Asia 2026 odds are interesting because this is the first edition of this contest. Will it go the way of the host country or will we see a shock winner?

Now, we can take a closer look at who is representing Philippines for Eurovision Asia and other countries as we make our Eurovision Asia 2026 betting predictions.

3. Eurovision Asia Representatives

There are many artists across Asia who are hoping for the opportunity to represent their nation at Eurovision Asia. Competitions are taking place across the continent as judges and fans vote for their favourite performers. Read on as we present some of the biggest Eurovision Asia 2026 representatives.

3.1 Eurovision Asia Philippines Representative

We begin our Eurovision Asia 2026 predictions with a closer look at the representative from Philippines. The official Eurovision Asia 2026 broadcaster for Philippines is ABS-CBN and their representative for the contest is Carmelle. She will be performing "Sobra-Sobra" having won the Philippine Selection Night in August. There were ten competing artists and Carmelle finished top of the voting, with Saga in second place, and JM Dela Cerna and Marielle Montellano finishing in third. Philippines has a big domestic pop industry that has expended internationally and that is why many people are backing them in their 2026 Eurovision Asia predictions. Additionally, you can also find odds at BetWinner once they become available and use our BetWinner promo code upon signing up.

3.2 Who is Representing Malaysia for Eurovision Asia?

Next, we come to the Malaysia representative, Aina Abdul. The Malaysian singer previously appeared as a finalist in the 2014 televised singing competition, Mentor Legend. So, Abdul has experience of appearing in the final of televised musical contests, which is worth noting for Eurovision Asia 2026 betting. Abdul has released several hit singles in Malaysia but did not have to come through a competition to win a place at Eurovision Asia. Unlike the Eurovision Asia 2026 Philippines representative, Abdul was named the Shopee Choice Artist Icon and that award booked her a place in Thailand.

3.3 Eurovision Asia Bhutan Representative

The 2026 Bhutan Eurovision Asia representative is Nyendra and he will be performing "Lhayi Semo" in the final. Nyendra is a relatively new name on the Bhutan pop scene and came to prominence thanks to his hit single "Oh No!", which when viral on TikTok. In July 2026, Nyendra entered the Rhythm of Bhutan contest and winning that competition paved the way for his entry to Eurovision Asia. Bhutan is not widely recognised internationally for its pop music, so this is an opportunity for Nyendra to put his country on the map. Will you be backing Nyendra when making your Eurovision Asia 2026 predictions?

3.4 Who will Represent Thailand at Eurovision Asia?

All eyes will be on the host representative at Eurovision Asia 2026 but who will represent Thailand for Eurovision Asia? The winner of Thailand's Chosen One will perform at Eurovision Asia and the ten competing artists have been announced as:

  • Gam Wichayanee
  • Jetset'er
  • JMNK
  • Mang & Daou
  • Monica
  • Retrospect
  • Tigger and Tara Viis
  • Wonderframe
  • Zom Marie
  • The Handsome Wolf

Gam Wichayanee and Zom Marie are thought to be among the favourites to win and represent Thailand at the Eurovision Asia 2026. There will be huge pressure on whoever wins Thailand's Chosen One as they will be performing in-front of a home audience at the 2026 Eurovision Asia finals.

3.5 Who is Representing South Korea at Eurovision Asia?

The potential Eurovision Asia 2026 South Korea representative was selected via the ‘Korea’s Next Wave’ contest. Eight artists performed and JUNHEE was the winner with his song, "Deep Dive". JUNHEE is best known for being the main vocalist of K-pop group A.C.E. but has been working on solo projects, including his album, Love Method. With a massive pop music scene in South Korea, being the first performer at Eurovision Asia is a huge privilege but also comes with massive pressure. With a musical career spanning almost 10 years, including four singles and several soundtrack appearances, JUNHEE will be feeling confident as the South Korea Eurovision Asia Representative.

4. Eurovision Song Contest Asia 2026 Betting Tips

There is much anticipation surrounding the Eurovision Asia South Korea representative. With the backing of the incredible K-pop industry and a highly engaged, enthusiastic fan base, JUNHEE is an extremely strong entry. A K-pop background as a vocalist with A.C.E plus four recent singles, including “Deep Dive”, only adds to his appeal for domestic and international audiences. For anyone making Eurovision Song Contest Asia predictions, South Korea must be top of the list.

However, Philippines will be feeling confident and their entrant, Carmelle, has the backing of Star Magic, having signed with the ABS-CBN owned talent agency in 2025. Carmelle will be just 19 years old at the time of the contest and will have the full backing of Philippine audiences across the continent.

Then we have the boost that comes with being the host nation. The host representative does not always win in Eurovision but they often finish highly and Thailand will be hoping the energy in the arena when the Thai performer is on stage will resonate with voters streaming live. However, our ESC Asia predictions are for South Korea to win, with Philippines in second place, and Thailand third.

Of course, with the contest being exciting and always full of surprises, we can expect underdogs to emerge. Viewers may be tempted to back lesser known candidates if their performance is exceed expectations. You can learn more about this in our betting on underdogs guide!
