The third live show of Star Academy 2026 airs on October 24 at 9:10 p.m. on TF1. A look back at Khalil's departure, the no-elimination night on October 17, and Amel's immunity.

Following a second non-elimination prime, the students of Star Academy 2026 are gearing up for the Saturday night show on Saturday, October 24 at 9:10 p.m. on TF1. The assessments and the nominations announcement, scheduled for Wednesday, will set the pace for this new week at the château de Dammarie-les-Lys.

Heads up: the next episode revisits events already aired. Khalil’s voluntary departure wiped out the first week’s nominations. Mélina and Félix, initially in danger, were able to take part in the October 17 live show without facing elimination. They sang together Up Where We Belong, by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes.

This evening also allowed the 16 students who remained to perform their anthem, Dans un autre monde by Céline Dion. Zoé’s sung-and-danced number set to Evanescence’s Bring Me to Life, Elija and Adèle Castillon’s duet, and Bigflo & Oli joining Maud are among the acts you can watch again in the replay.

Amel won the Top 3 showdown against Morgan and Cameron, securing immunity for the next week. The other students will go through evaluations before the nominees are announced on Wednesday, October 21. The make-up of this new danger group sets up the next challenge in the competition, which launched on October 10 with Mosimann as director and Nikos Aliagas as host.

To follow the prime's buildup, the daily show airs on TF1 at 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, at 5:10 p.m. on Saturdays, and at 4:05 p.m. on Sundays. On October 24, the prime continues with a second segment at 10:30 p.m., followed by Star Academy, Back at the Château at 11:45 p.m. Nikos Aliagas and the judging panel revisit the performances, while Karima Charni gathers the students' reactions.
