Rai has confirmed that Sanremo Giovani will adopt a new format for its 2026 edition.
The competition will now produce one winner, who will join the Campioni lineup at Festival di Sanremo in 2027.
A second round of live selections in Sanremo will narrow the field to six finalists – three from Sanremo Giovani and three from Area Sanremo.
The final will be held on 18 December at the Casino di Sanremo.
The spokesperson added:“With this new format, Sanremo Giovani further strengthens its role as a bridge between emerging talents and the Festival’s grand stage, offering young artists an even more structured, visible, and meritocratic path.”
