Ten singers will walk onto the stage at Prague’s O2 arena on December 9, but the 2026 SuperStar title will rest entirely in the hands of the viewing public.
TV Nova confirmed the live finale will begin at 20:20, broadcast simultaneously on Nova and Markíza.
The finalists—Gaia Anzari, Karolína Pelíšková, Samuel Dózsa, Kristián Holer, Filip Kaleta, Adam Jalč, Polina Babiy, Natália Schielová, Nikolas Draškovič, and Adam Hlůžek—have reached the final stage of a competition that began with mass casting rounds and a rigorous “SuperVýběr” phase.
That earlier stage saw fifty hopefuls perform with a live band before an audience of friends and family, eventually narrowing the field through a live semifinal featuring twenty participants, according to MediaGuru.
Creative producer and director Pepe Majeský stated the goal is to merge the standard competition format with a large-scale concert experience. Tickets for the arena event go on sale November 11.
Contestants have been given the choice to perform original music or select from a catalog of Czech and Slovak hits. Gaia Anzari, Karolína Pelíšková, Kristián Holer, and Filip Kaleta have opted to present their own compositions. The remaining six finalists will lean into tradition, with setlists including tracks such as Hana Zagorová’s “Černej páv” and Karel Černoch’s “Sen kovbojů,” reported Extra.cz.
Leoš Mareš will return as host, a role he has held since the initial casting rounds. He will be joined by a familiar face: Slovak singer Tina, who co-hosted the show’s second series, is set to appear as a special guest.
“I experienced it many times because in ‘my time,’ there were dozens of live performances in one season,” Tina told Extra.cz.
“It’s great that I can go back there and revive memories,” she added, describing her participation as a “heartfelt matter.”
While the stage is set, the outcome is far from determined. The audience will cast the deciding votes during the December 9 broadcast, leaving the identity of the 2026 winner unknown until the final moments of the show.
