An announcement was published by Eurovision in 2017, regarding the contest on their official websites. Various speculations of a Eurovision Asia were in talks from 2014 and the official announcement was published in 2016 with an article in 2017. A promotional video featuring artwork was published.

The official website was launched in 2017 and showcased the planned launch of the Asian spin on the Eurovision song contest.

The website would continue to receive updates until 2019 when the website was frozen and no changes were made until 2023.

On June 14th 2023 Blink TV revealed the revamp of the website and the text stating “more information coming soon.”

Then In October of the same year the website would be put into maintenance with the previous branding used again. No changes have been made ever since.

By around 2021, the Australian broadcaster SBS, who was supposed to be hosting the competition, decided to cancel it..[17]

However, in 2025, Bhutanese broadcaster BBS held a contest called 'Druk Dra: Road to Eurovision Asia' where the anchor states that Bhutan will be one of the 18 countries participating in Eurovision Asia in Mumbai, India.[18] Soon after the Bhutanese national selection, a Vietnamese broadcaster HTV has allocated on their channel HTV7 a slot with the name "Eurovision Asia" which is set to be aired at 19:30 local time on the 31st of August.

On the 31st March, 2026, Eurovision posted a video on their TikTok page, saying that the Eurovision Song Contest Asia will be taking place on Saturday 14th November, 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand.
