Where the songs will be announced
The full list of Dora 2026 songs will be revealed live on Croatian radio, as well as on the official Dora YouTube channel, giving fans across the country and around the world their first chance to hear the music heading into the contest.
Tomislav Štengl, Croatia’s Eurovision Head of Delegation, commented that there are “good songs and others perhaps less strong, but everyone will find favourites,” expressing confidence that all 24 performers have a chance to shine in the competition.
Croatia’s Eurovision Journey
Croatia has been a part of the Eurovision family since 1961, as part of Yugoslavia. Ten Croatian artists went on to represent Yugoslavia in the Contest – the most famous of which being Riva, who gave Yugoslavia its only win in 1989. The 1990 Contest was held in Zagreb as a tribute to their Croatian heritage. Croatia debuted in the Contest as an independent nation in 1993 with the band Put and their song “Don’t Ever Cry”. Since then, Croatia has gone on to score as high as 2nd place in 2024.
In 2025, Croatia chose Marko Bošnjak to represent the nation in Basel with his song “Poison Cake”. Performing in the first semi-final, Croatia failed to qualify for the final, placing twelfth with a televote score of 28 points.
