Eglė Kernagytė will present Eurovizija.LT for the first time, and is joining Rimvydas, who hosted for the first time in 2025, and Gabrielė, who has hosted five editions of the selection.

Speaking with LRT, Eglė said:

“The invitation to join the Eurovision selection hosts made me very happy. I am looking forward to the filming with a very bright and positive attitude, although I admit that there is also some excitement, it probably couldn’t be otherwise. However, I am trying to cope and I have no doubt that a very interesting adventure full of beautiful music awaits me,”

Lolita Zero, Shower, and Lion Ceccah – the runner-ups from respectively 2022, 2024, and 2025 – have come back to the competition this year.

Several changes to the format were announced earlier in August. A wildcard round has been introduced for all acts that place third in their semi-final. The public will be able to vote online once for the act they want to see in the final, and the act with the highest number of votes will secure a spot in the final.

Additionally, the superfinal has been scrapped. Instead, Lithuania’s Eurovision 2026 representative will be chosen in a single round, combining jury and public votes. For the first time, online voting will be used during all live shows, while telephone voting has been removed.

Katarsis represented Lithuania at Eurovision 2025 with “Tavo akys”. They finished 16th in the final with 96 points, which included 12 points from the Ukrainian public vote.
