To be eligible to participate in the Fantasia Contest, a country is required to be an active member of the Fantasia Broadcasting Association (FBA). The FBA issued an invitation to all active members of the FBA to participate in the contest.
Active FBA members
- Alkyria: On 24 October 2021 it was announced that the broadcaster would temporarily withdraw from the contest due to scheduling issues.
- Corzazjan: On 24 October 2021 it was announced that the broadcaster would temporarily withdraw from the contest. No further information was given by the Head of Delegation.
- Decoria: On 25 October 2021 it was announced that the broadcaster would permanently withdraw from the contest due to lack of funding. Despite the withdrawal, DRT would remain a member of FBA and would still broadcast the contest, citing a huge interest among the public.
- Hwaesonna: Hwaesonna failed to officially confirm or withdraw for the 26th edition, and thus was not on the final list of participants.
