Kringvarp Føroya, the Faroese public broadcaster, will broadcast Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2026.
KvF will broadcast Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2026 live tonight. Viewers in the Faroe Islands will also be able to vote through app and SMS voting.
Sissal, who is taking part in Dansk Melodi Grand Prix tonight, is from the Faroe Islands. Last year, she became the first Faroese artist in history to appear in a Eurovision final. Should she win Dansk Melodi Grand Prix tonight, she will become the first artist since Hot Eyes in 1985 to win consecutive editions of the contest. KvF broadcast Eurovision 2025 and sent a team over to Basel.
Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2026 takes place tonight at Frederikshavn, with eight acts competing to represent Denmark in Vienna. TV and radio host Sara Bro and actor Alex Høgh Andersen are the duo that will host the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2026. This will be the third time that Sara Bro hosts the event, having previously hosted in 2024 and 2025.
Dansk Melodi Grand Prix will once again have a two-phase final, with voting held across two rounds. In the first round the eight acts will perform with the top three progressing to the superfinal. The top three will be determined by 50% televoting and 50% jury voting.
In the superfinal, voting will start again. The public will vote again to select their favourite from the remaining three, while the jury will also be voting. This follows the same format as the 2025 final.
The running order in round one is as follows:
Sander Sanchez – “Two Spirits”
Late Runner – “Can U Feel It?”
Søren Torpegaard Lund – “Før vi går hjem” (Before we go home)
Sissal – “Infinity”
Emil Otto – “Copenhagen Noir”
Myrkur – “Touch My Love and Die”
Lasse Skriver – “Roaring Heart”
Ericka Jane – “Death of Me”
The Faroe Islands have previously broadcast the Eurovision Song Contest in between 1983 and 2002, and in 2011, 2014, 2023 and 2025. At the time, Kringvarp Føroya reached an agreement with the Danish broadcaster DR to air the contest. Until Kringvarp Føroya joins the European Broadcasting Union, Faroese citizens wishing to take to the Eurovision stage can only compete on behalf of Denmark.
The Faroe Islands broadcaster KvF has hopes of competing in the Eurovision Song Contest. KVF reported in 2024 that at least five years’ worth of support will be required to gain membership of the organisation.
EBU membership fees will be significant for the broadcaster, with an estimated one-off payment of 1.5 Million Kr (201,000 Euro), with an additional 500,000 Kr (67,000 Euro) membership fee each year. Participation in the Eurovision Song Contest would cost a significant amount, including participation fees, costs of staying in the host city, and the cost of staging its performance.
