France chose to host Junior Eurovision, for the first time, in 2021

After Valentina's victory on November 29th, France decided to organize the 19th Junior Eurovision show in 2021. This is a great first for our country. France Télévisions is proud to offer this event to the French and European public, who cherish it since 2003. 

As of now, France Télévisions teams are discussing with the EBU to prepare the organization of this event. The host city and the date will be announced at a later date.

We are delighted that France Télévisions will host the Junior Eurovision Song Contest next year for the first time,” said Martin Österdahl, the Contest’s Executive Supervisor.

“We know how excited the whole team in France are to be staging the 19th edition of the Contest and we’re looking forward to working with them on growing the competition and producing a great show in 2021”

"I am very happy that France Télévisions is organizing the Junior Eurovision in France in 2021. Valentina represented our country brilliantly by winning the 2020 edition of the competition on November 29th. Consequently and in our eyes, it was obvious to host the next event in our country. This is a strong new initiative for us, which underscores the importance France Télévisions attaches to Eurovision, the EBU and Europe. Let us all hope that Eurovision 2021 can take place under normal conditions in France. Thus, it would be a time of great celebrations for many Europeans.”

It truly is an achievement and an honor for the entire France Télévisions entertainment team to organize in France one of the biggest shows in the world. We can't wait to welcome the EBU teams, all the participants and the European delegations next year and offer them a special show! »
