Get ready, Eurovision fans! Greece is gearing up for Eurovision 2026, and the anticipation is building! The release dates for the songs competing in 'Sing for Greece,' the national final, have just been announced, promising a weekend filled with musical excitement.
On the weekend of January 17th and 18th, the public will get their first listen to the hopeful Eurovision entries. The presentation will be split into two parts, with the 28 competing songs unveiled in stages.
- Saturday, January 17th: Tune in to hear the 14 songs battling it out in the First Semi-Final.
- Sunday, January 18th: Discover the remaining 14 songs vying for a spot in the Second Semi-Final.
But that's not all! Each song will be accompanied by a special music video, filmed in ERT's studios by the 28 artists themselves. This gives fans a visual experience to complement the audio. These videos will be available immediately after the shows on ERTFLIX and ERT's social media platforms. The audio files will also be available on ERT Echo.
And this is where it gets interesting... The national final itself, where the winner will be chosen to represent Greece in Eurovision 2026, has been tentatively moved to the second week of February.
