The Eurovision Song Contest 2027 is the upcoming 71st edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It will consist of two semi-finals on 11 and 13 May and a final on 15 May 2027, held at Arena Burgas in Burgas, Bulgaria. It is being organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Bulgarian National Television (BNT), which will stage the event after winning the 2026 contest for Bulgaria with the song "Bangaranga" by Dara.

Location

The 2027 contest will take place in Burgas, Bulgaria, following the country's victory at the 2026 contest with "Bangaranga", performed by Dara. It will be the first edition of the contest hosted in Bulgaria and the second Eurovision event held in the country, after the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015 in Sofia. The selected venue for the contest is the 15,000-seat Arena Burgas, which serves as a venue for indoor sports and concert events.[2][3]

After Bulgaria's win in 2026, Milena Milotinova, director of Bulgarian National Television (BNT), said during the winner's press conference that the broadcaster was ready to host the 2027 contest in Sofia.[4][5] Between 17 and 18 May 2026, the mayors of Burgas,[6] Sofia,[7] Plovdiv,[8] and Varna[9] all declared readiness for their respective city to host the event. By 21 May, the Bulgarian government had begun establishing an interdepartmental working group, headed by Deputy Prime Minister Ivo Hristov, to coordinate preparations for the contest.[10][11][12] BNT opened the bidding process on 8 June, issuing requirements for the four interested cities,[13][14] all of which delivered their bids by 3 July.[15][16] On 13 July, BNT announced that the choice of host city had been narrowed to Burgas and Sofia.[17][18][19] Throughout that month, the two candidate cities received an inspection visit from EBU representatives.[20] On 13 August, the EBU and BNT announced Burgas as the host city.[2][3]

Other countries

EBU members

EBU member broadcasters in Andorra[62] and Bosnia and Herzegovina[63][64] confirmed non-participation prior to the announcement of the participants list by the EBU. The following countries' broadcasters or other figures have released statements regarding the 2027 contest without confirming participation:

  •  Cyprus – In July 2026, CyBC announced it had adopted a new policy of participating in all three EBU music competitions, including the Eurovision Song Contest.[65] On 25 August 2026, Cypriot news portal I Love Style reported that CyBC was examining the proposal of an undisclosed production company to organize a public selection for the country's entry while covering all costs associated with the selection.[66][67] An official confirmation of participation in 2027 is pending.
  •  Hungary – In May 2026, Hungarian prime minister Péter Magyar revealed during an interview on Austrian broadcaster ORF's news program Zeit im Bild that he had instructed the Minister or State Secretary for Culture to examine the possibility of the country returning to the contest.[68] On 23 June 2026, the Hungarian parliament passed an amendment to the National Media Act, which dissolved MTVA, Hungary's previous participating broadcaster, and its sister organisation Duna Média, in favour of a new broadcaster, Hungarian Radio and Television.[69] The amendment was enacted on 27 June,[70] with 90 days allotted for the establishment of the new broadcaster.[71] Hungary last took part in 2019.An official confirmation of participation in 2027 is pending.
  •  Serbia – On 15 September 2025, RTS published the rules for its national final for 2026, Pesma za Evroviziju '26 (PzE '26). Among those was a provision stating that the winner of PzE '26 is required to hand over the PzE '27 trophy to that edition's winner – that is, to Serbia's hypothetical representative for Eurovision 2027.[72] An official confirmation of participation in 2027 is pending.
  •  Ukraine – On 7 August 2026, Suspilne confirmed that the provision in the rules of its national final Vidbir, which bans artists who had performed in events organised in Russia or illegally entered Crimea since 2014 and Belarus since 2022 from competing, would remain indefinitely.[73] An official confirmation of participation in 2027 is pending.

EBU associates

  •  Australia – After the Eurovision Song Contest Asia was announced on 31 March 2026, SBS expressed no interest in joining the contest.[74] On 11 May 2026, the EBU stated "no broadcaster that takes part in the Eurovision Song Contest will be taking part in Eurovision Song Contest Asia", meaning that SBS would not be allowed to take part in both contests.[75] An official decision is pending.

Israeli participation

Broadcasters from Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and Spain opted not to take part in the 2026 contest to protest Israel's participation in the context of the Gaza war.[76] On 3 May 2026, contest director Martin Green said in an interview with Dutch news programme Nieuwsuur that he hopes the broadcasters which had boycotted the 2026 contest would return in 2027.[77] In an interview with Variety that was published on 1 July, Green stated that a vote on whether or not to permit Israel's participation in 2027 would not be held.[78] The Israeli broadcaster Kan confirmed its intention to participate in Bulgaria on 12 July.[33]

The following countries' broadcasters have released statements on how they plan to respond to Israel's intention to compete in 2027:

  •  Belgium – During the preview programme ahead of the 2026 final, Yasmine Van der Borght, a spokesperson for Flemish broadcaster VRT, which is set to participate in 2027 as part of the annual alternation with the French-speaking RTBF which participated in 2026, said that the broadcaster is unlikely to do so unless the EBU holds a direct vote on Israel's participation. Van der Borght said that the chances of VRT sending an entry in 2027 are "slim", and called on the EBU to "make a clear statement against war and violence and for respect for human rights". A decision regarding participation in 2027 is expected in the Autumn.[79][80][81]
  •  Iceland – In December 2025, RÚV's director-general Stefán Eríksson stated during an interview with The Euro Trip Podcast that the broadcaster would closely follow developments at the 2026 contest before deciding whether or not to participate in 2027.[82] The broadcaster's board of directors is set to next meet in September 2026, but it remains unclear whether Eurovision will be on the agenda.[83]
  •  Ireland – On 19 May 2026, RTÉ's director-general Kevin Bakhurst stated that "there's no reason at the moment to change our decision, but we will review it in the coming months". A decision regarding participation in 2027 is pending.[84][85]
  •  Netherlands – On 24 August 2026, AVROTROS announced that it would not return in 2027, maintaining that Israel's continued participation compromises the event's neutrality.[86][87] NPO, the umbrella organisation of the Dutch public broadcasting system, is deliberating whether it will engage in talks regarding participation by another broadcaster.[87] Omroep Max had expressed willingness to take over participation in the contest should NPO offer financial backing,[88][89] but later rescinded its interest.[90][91] BNNVARA, EO, KRO-NCRV, and PowNed have also ruled themselves out.[89][92][93]
  •  Slovenia – On 9 March 2024, Mario Galunič, an editor at RTVSLO, drafted a document, with one of the points being a plan to return to selecting Slovene entries for Eurovision through the national final Evrovizijska Melodija from 2025 until 2028.[94] Despite this, RTVSLO opted not to take part in 2026 due to Israel's participation in the contest. A decision regarding participation in 2027 is pending.[95]
  •  Spain – On 25 February 2026, RTVE called for discussions within the EBU on disallowing countries in active military conflicts, such as Israel, from competing in 2027.[96] In response to Green's statements during the Nieuwsuur interview, RTVE stated it would examine "if the conditions are right" for future participation after the 2026 final. A decision regarding participation in 2027 is pending.[77]

Production and format

The Eurovision Song Contest 2027 will be produced by the Bulgarian national broadcaster Bulgarian National Television (BNT). In July 2026, the Bulgarian government adopted an action plan for the contest's production. Under the plan, an executive producer and creative director are to be appointed by 30 August; an agreement with the selected venue is to be signed by 10 September, with its spaces allocated for contest use by 30 September; a projected budget is to be prepared by 10 October; and the creative concept and visual design are to be completed by 15 December. Presenters and scriptwriters are to be selected between November 2026 and April 2027, while stage construction and technical rehearsals are scheduled to take place from mid-March until the end of April. The Eurovision Village is planned to operate from 13 April to 31 May, and the venue is to be restored to normal use between 18 and 24 May.[97][98] The Bulgarian government has allocated around €20 million as part of the budget needed to host the event.[99]

Voting system and contest structure

On 12 August 2026, the EBU published a preliminary summary of the rules for the 2027 contest.[100] Among the most notable changes, the participating broadcaster of the winning country is automatically ineligible to host the next edition if "an armed conflict, a sensitive geopolitical situation, or any other situation materially affects the security, safety or stability of their state or immediate region"; further measures are implemented to limit excessive use of pre-recorded backing vocals; and competing artists must be at least 18 years old on the day of their first rehearsal, instead of 16 as had been the case since 1990.[101][102] Aftonbladet reported the following day, citing a letter by the EBU to its members, that additional proposed changes include moving public voting online entirely and requiring viewers to vote for more than one entry.[103]
