Canada to participate in Eurovision 2027 in Bulgaria

The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) officially announced that Canada will participate in the 2027 Eurovision Song Contest. This marks the first time a North American country has joined the competition, following Australia's involvement as an associate member. The decision follows CBC/Radio-Canada's recent attainment of full EBU membership, which permits the country to compete in the 71st edition of the event. The contest will be hosted in Sofia, Bulgaria, following the nation's victory in the 2025 competition. Canada is scheduled to compete in the semi-finals to qualify for the grand final. Specific details regarding the selection process for the Canadian entry are expected to be released by CBC/Radio-Canada later this year. While European geographic proximity is common for participants, the EBU rules allow any full member broadcasting organization to enter, regardless of their continental location.
