Eurovision 2027 to Be Held in Burgas, Bulgaria, on May 11, 13, and 15

The 71st edition of the Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Burgas, Bulgaria, on May 11, 13, and 15, 2027. The announcement was made by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the organization that unites public broadcasters from many European and non-European countries and runs the competition. The contest's rules stipulate that the winning country of the previous year hosts the next edition. Bulgaria won in 2026 with singer Dara. The 2027 edition will be the first to include Canada as a participating country. A new rule will come into effect: if a country involved in an armed conflict wins, it will not be allowed to host the following edition. This rule is linked to the heated protests against Israel's participation, which has achieved high placements in recent editions partly due to systematic attempts to influence the results.
