The X Factor is an Israeli television music competition to find new singing talent across the globe. The first series began airing on 1 January 2017 and finished months later. TBA presented the series of the main show and TBA presented spin-off show The Xtra Factor. 
==Judges, presenters and other personnel==
==Confirmed participants==
Each country submitted an artist whom would represent the country in qualification rounds prior to the live shows. Once they were to qualify into the live shows, a new song and act would be submitted every week. The final, however, will not allow the country to submit a new act as the best performance of each country will be used, with the artist singing multiple songs.
