The inaugural Voice of Bangladesh takes place in Dhaka today, Wednesday 30 September, with ten acts competing for the opportunity to represent Bangladesh in Bangkok.

How will the winner be chosen?
The result of Voice of Bangladesh will be decided by a combination of the Bangladeshi public, a professional jury and international viewers.
40% of the result will come from viewers in Bangladesh, another 40% from a professional jury and the remaining 20% from the Rest of the World vote.
International fans can therefore help decide which song Bangladesh sends to Bangkok.
Online voting is free, with each viewer receiving eight votes. Those votes must be distributed between at least three different songs.
How to watch
Bangladeshi viewers can watch Voice of Bangladesh through NTV and streaming platform Bongo.
International viewers will be able to follow the show through the official Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel.
The show will be hosted by Bangladeshi singer, actor and television presenter Tahsan Rahman Khan.
The winner will head to Bangkok, where the first Eurovision Song Contest Asia will take place on 14 November 2026.
Bangladesh is one of 11 countries participating in the inaugural edition of the competition.
