The Czech broadcaster has revealed that a total of 260 songs have been submitted for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026.
260 songs are in the running to represent Czechia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Vienna. The songs were received during an open call for songs which took place for six weeks between September and mid-October.
Now that song submissions have closed, the songs will be reviewed. The Czech representative for Vienna will be chosen by a combination of experts and a public poll, as was the case in the 2025 selection process.
