I would wager Europa. Life as we understand it needs water to exist, and since we believe Europa has liquid water oceans, it may be possible that we will find life in those oceans, under the miles-thick ice, being warmed by a possibly-active core.

Not a planet, but moon - Enceladus. Warm global ocean under the ice with salts and organic matter in it that's part of the requirement for life

I'm guessing that would only entail marine life then. Its a possible contender of course, but how would life genuinely evolve or exist under massive sheets of ice?

Yeah it's true. A study was conducted and it turns out there is a small subsurface ocean.

Mermaids in puffer jackets?

Realistically it’s more likely to be some sort of bacteria than any sort of sentient life. But just finding bacteria on another planet/moon in our solar system would essentially prove the existence of life elsewhere in the galaxy

Oh it's not small, it's around the entire moon under the ice
