Switzerland has officially confirmed that Veronica Fusaro will be its representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Vienna. The announcement came from the Swiss broadcaster SRG SSR, which selected her through a multi-stage process that included both public and expert juries.

Who Is Veronica Fusaro?

Veronica Fusaro, 28, coming from Thun, near Bern, has become one of Switzerland’s most exciting voices on the contemporary music scene. She blends elements of pop, soul and rock with emotional storytelling in her music, earning recognition early in her career when she was named “SRF 3 Best Talent” in 2016. Since then, she has performed at major festivals including Glastonbury, the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Gurtenfestival, and has played over 500 concerts across Europe and beyond.

Last autumn, Fusaro released her second album, “Looking for Connection”, which explores themes of authenticity and connection in a digitally saturated world, qualities that she hopes to bring to the Eurovision stage.

Her song will be revealed on 11 March 2026. Veronica is scheduled to perform in the first half of the second semi-final on 14 May.

Switzerland’s Eurovision journey

Switzerland both hosted and debuted in the inaugural Eurovision Song Contest in 1956. Their first participation was successful, as they won with Lys Assia’s “Refrain”. Since then, they have participated on 63 occasions, making the Grand Final 52 times.

Switzerland’s most recent participation saw them being represented on home soil by Zoë Më with her song “Voyage”. At the end of voting in the final, it was revealed that Switzerland had earned 214 points from the juries and received nothing from televoters. This ultimately placed Switzerland 10th in the final.
