I don’t currently have live tool access in this turn, but I can summarize what’s known about San Marino in Eurovision recent years and point to where you can find the latest updates.
Direct answer
- As of the latest widely reported information up to 2025–2026, San Marino has continued to participate in Eurovision through its national selection and internal selections for the contest, with recent years featuring San Marino Song Contest finals to select their entry. For specifics on the 2026 cycle or any late-breaking results, please check San Marino RTV announcements and the official Eurovision website’s country pages.
Context and current-state overview
- National selection: San Marino typically runs its own national final (often called the San Marino Song Contest or a related national selection process) to choose its Eurovision entry, sometimes rotating formats or special guests during the build-up. This pattern has been common in recent cycles and was noted in coverage of prior years.[3][6]
- Eurovision performance history: San Marino debuted in 2008 and has alternated between direct selections and national finals, with varying degrees of success and qualification, including semi-final participation and occasional final appearances in some years before 2024–2025.[5][8]
- Notable recent participants: In 2024, San Marino competed with the act 11:11 but did not qualify for the final. The 2025 cycle saw San Marino continuing its participation efforts, including national selections and performances by their chosen entrant in Turin’s cycle timeline referenced in contemporary reporting.[1][5]
- 2026 outlook: Reports during 2025-2026 indicate ongoing planning for the San Marino Song Contest final and appearances by guests or returning artists as part of the national final (e.g., coverage noting guests and events tied to the 2026 show).[6]
Where to find the latest
