In the past decade, Greece’s presence at Eurovision has been marked by both resilience and evolving approaches to the contest. In 2025, Greece selected Klavdia with her song “Asteromáta” (Stars) in the Ethnikós Telikós national final. She brought Greece to an impressive sixth place in the Grand Final, scoring 231 points — the country’s best result since 2013 and a reaffirmation of Greek competitiveness on the Eurovision stage.
Over recent years, Greek entries have blended contemporary pop with Mediterranean influences and strong vocal performances. In 2024, Marina Satti represented the nation with Zari, earning 11th place in the Grand Final and enjoying notable streaming success across Europe.
This blend of success and reinvention has set the stage for the Eurovision 2026 selection, where a fresh new lineup of artists and songs will vie for the honour of representing Greece.
Greece’s National Final: Sing for Greece 2026
Greek public broadcaster ERT revealed the artists and songs competing to be Greece’s Eurovision 2026 entry through its national selection show Sing for Greece – Ethnikós Telikós 2026.
