BURGAS 2027 TRACKER
Eurovision 2027 participants
This tracker separates official participation, broadcaster selection activity and unresolved broadcaster decisions. A national-final announcement — or one broadcaster stepping away — does not by itself replace the final EBU participant list.
2027 format: the public rules allow a maximum of 44 participating EBU Members. The Big Five and Host Broadcaster have guaranteed Grand Final places; other participants normally compete in the two Semi-Finals, with ten qualifiers from each.
Key status: the tracker currently has 7 officially confirmed / host entries. Specific broadcaster decisions remain pending for Slovenia, Hungary, Iceland, Moldova and Spain. 2 broadcasters have formally confirmed non-participation. Other rows record verified selection activity while awaiting the complete official participant list. Latest participation report: 16 October 2026.

How to read the Eurovision 2027 country list
Only an explicit EBU or broadcaster confirmation counts as official participation. Bulgaria is the host.
A national final or internal selection can be active before the complete official participant list is announced.
Withdrawals or non-participation decisions are listed separately and linked to the underlying statement.
