The EBU has confirmed 36 broadcasters for Eurovision 2027 in Burgas. Its announcement, published on 28 October, includes a Canadian debut and North Macedonia's return.

Spain and Slovenia remain outside the confirmed list for now. Their broadcasters have been given until December to decide.

Canada joins and North Macedonia returns

CBC/Radio-Canada will enter the contest for the first time. The announcement follows the broadcaster becoming a full EBU member in July 2026.

North Macedonia's MRT is returning after a four-year absence. The 36 confirmed broadcasters represent one more entry than the 2026 contest.

What this means for fans visiting Burgas

The announcement keeps the three live shows on 11, 13 and 15 May 2027, with BNT hosting at Arena Burgas. Our Eurovision calendar brings the planning dates together.

The same release says tickets for nine live and preview shows are planned to go on sale early in 2027. Fans wishing to buy tickets must register for the free Eurofan membership. Check our ticket guide for official sale updates rather than treating the participation list as an open-sale announcement.
