Alec at Junior Eurovision 2026: song and final date

Alec will represent France at Junior Eurovision 2026 with “Comment Tu Vas?”, a title that means “How are you?” The final is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 21:00 CEST, at the Malta Fairs & Conventions Centre (MFCC) in Ta’ Qali, Malta. The original time and venue are listed on the official edition page.

Who Alec is

Alec is a singer, instrumentalist and songwriter. According to his official Junior Eurovision profile, he has played piano since the age of five and guitar since he was six. Songwriting developed from this early contact with instruments and his interest in telling stories and conveying emotions through music.

French audiences discovered him in 2025 on the France Télévisions program *N’oubliez Pas Les Enfants*. His path also includes regional competitions, open-mic appearances and impromptu piano sessions, especially at railway stations.

“Comment Tu Vas?” is not merely a song selected for Alec to perform: he helped create it. The official credits attribute both music and lyrics to Alec and Malo’, strengthening the young artist’s personal connection to the song’s proposal.

What “Comment Tu Vas?” means

The French expression “Comment tu vas?” means “How are you?” In the song, however, the question does not function as an automatic greeting. It creates room for one person to genuinely notice another.

The lyrics begin with an encounter between strangers and emphasize what they share: a desire for happiness. They then invite the listener to preserve their dreams, imagine their freedom and recognize the strength within them. Piano and voice appear as ways to awaken feelings that had remained dormant.

The central point arrives when the song acknowledges that somebody may not be okay and offers support. Its message therefore combines hope with emotional availability: asking, listening and telling another person that they can rely on us. Repeating the question in the chorus turns a simple phrase into a call for empathy without denying difficult moments.

When and where the final takes place

The 24th Junior Eurovision will take place on October 24, 2026, at 21:00 CEST, at the MFCC in Ta’ Qali. Public Broadcasting Services of Malta (PBS) is the host broadcaster, while Gaia Cauchi, Destiny and Keane Cutajar will present the show.

The official page lists 16 participating countries. The live-show page already identifies Alec and “Comment Tu Vas?” as the French entry, but still marks the running order, jury points and audience points as pending. Naturally, scores will only exist after voting; the running order should likewise not be presumed while it remains labeled “TBC.”

The sources reviewed do not confirm a specific channel or streaming platform for the United States. Anyone planning to follow the final should check the official page closer to the date because availability and channels can differ by territory.

Malta and “The Festa” concept

The 2026 creative theme is “The Festa,” inspired by Malta’s tradition of community celebrations. The production says that visual references from these festivities feature in the stage architecture, lighting and scenic elements, while each participant retains room to build a distinct performance world.

Malta is hosting the contest for the first time since 2016; the country also staged the 2014 edition. In the official host announcement, organizers also recall Malta’s two victories: Gaia Cauchi won in 2013 with “The Start,” followed by Destiny in 2015 with “Not My Soul.”

France arrives after Lou Deleuze won in 2025 with “Ce Monde,” giving the country a record-equalling fourth title. That context increases attention on Alec, but it cannot predict his placing: performance, running order and voting remain separate from France’s previous results.

Tickets and details still pending

The official ticket information page announced that sales were due to open on September 23, 2026, at 18:00 CEST, through partner Eventworks. The announcement mentions tickets starting at €15 for the October 24 live broadcast and for the complete preview show on the previous evening, October 23.

Because that page announced a future opening, it does not by itself confirm the inventory available on September 27. Prices, availability and conditions may change; consult the official link and use only sellers identified by the organizers. The published rules require children under 14 to be accompanied by an adult, while those aged 14 to 16 need a consent form.

What to follow before October 24

The essential information is settled: Alec is singing a composition he wrote with Malo’, France is competing with a message of care, and the final will be held in Ta’ Qali. Details such as France’s running-order position and territory-specific broadcast information remain outstanding. Keeping those pending items separate from published facts helps avoid incorrect times or channel claims.
