Ten tunes will compete in Ukraine's Vienna 2026 pre-selection

You can listen to all ten songs in the running to represent Ukraine at the 70th Eurovision Song Contest over on our official YouTube channel.

On Saturday 7 February Ukrainian broadcaster Suspilne will hold what will be the tenth edition of Vidbir.

Throughout its first decade, the annual showcase of Ukraine's music scene has proven itself to be a reliable bringer of bops to Eurovision fans during national final season. And, of course, Ukraine's scorecard at the Eurovision Song Contest over the past ten years speaks for itself; with two victories and four more Top 10 finishes.

For the 2026 edition of Vidbir, Suspilne has lined up ten new tunes for music fans to dive into, released on Thursday 15 January:

• Valeriya Force – Open Our Hearts
• MOLODI – legends
• Monokate – TYT
• The Elliens – Crawling Whispers
• LAUD – LIGHTKEEPER
• LELÉKA – Ridnym
• Mr. Vel – Do or Done
• KHAYAT – Hertsi
• Jerry Heil – CATHARTICUS (prayer)
• ShchukaRyba – Moia Zemlia

Eurovision Song Contest fans may well recognise a couple of faces in the Vidbir 2026 lineup! Jerry Heil represented Ukraine at Malmö 2024 alongside alyona alyona, giving her country a third-place finish with the song Teresa & Maria.

Kateryna Pavlenko from the band Go_A also features in the lineup, under her solo music project Monokate. Back at Rotterdam 2021, she gave a memorable performance of Shum, which landed Ukraine in the Top 5 of the Grand Final scoreboard once again.

In February's live show, Ukraine's song for Vienna will be selected by the combination of a public vote and a professional jury.

Vidbir 2025 was won by the trio Ziferblat. At the 69th Eurovision Song Contest in Basel they took Ukraine to the Top 10 of the Grand Final with their song Bird of Pray.
