The next Intervision international song contest will be held in Saudi Arabia, although its exact date and venue are still being discussed, organizers told TASS against the backdrop of reports about uncertainty surrounding this year’s event. "As was announced during the Intervision final in Moscow, Saudi Arabia will be the next host country and organizer. Its date, venue and other organizational matters are being discussed," organizers said in a statement. At the final of the contest in 2025, it was announced that Saudi Arabia would become the host country for Intervision in 2026. On February 3, 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree to restore the Intervision music contest, which took place in the Russian capital on September 20, 2025.
