As countries begin laying the groundwork for Eurovision 2026, not everyone is rushing to confirm their spot. One notable holdout is Slovenia, whose national broadcaster RTV Slovenija has yet to commit to next year’s contest—leaving fans unsure about the country’s future on the Eurovision stage.
In a recent statement, RTV Slovenija revealed that no final decision has been made regarding Slovenia’s participation in Eurovision 2026. The broadcaster cited ongoing discussions around budget constraints, viewer engagement, and programming priorities as key factors in the delay.
This isn’t the first time Slovenia has wavered. In previous years, participation has often come down to the wire, with internal debates about the cost and cultural value of taking part. Despite these uncertainties, Slovenia has had notable success recently—especially in 2024, when Raiven brought the country back to the Grand Final with the dramatic “Veronika.”
Fans are already voicing their hopes on social media, urging RTV Slovenija not to sit 2026 out. Hashtags like #StayInEurovision and #SloveniaToEurovision have started trending among the fandom.
With preparations for Eurovision 2026 well underway across Europe, all eyes are now on Ljubljana to see whether Slovenia will continue its Eurovision journey. For a country with a passionate fanbase and growing success on the stage, skipping a year would be a significant loss.
We’ll be watching closely as more updates come in. Fingers crossed that Slovenia says da to Eurovision once again! 🇸🇮✨
