Broadcaster confirmations and EBU membership decisions are shaping participation for the 2027 Eurovision Song Contest in Burgas, Bulgaria. Canada’s full EBU membership in June 2026 cleared the way for its debut—the first new entrant since Australia—while North Macedonia’s return adds another returning participant. The Netherlands has withdrawn, citing concerns over Israel’s involvement, and Kazakhstan was denied eligibility. Roughly two dozen countries have signaled intent so far, with Spain, Ireland, Iceland, and Slovenia still pending as the mid-September application deadline and mid-October grace period approach. Updated contest rules and national selection timelines in countries such as Norway and Switzerland will further clarify the field ahead of the May 2027 semis and final.
