Australia can now be treated as part of the Eurovision 2027 season. In its 2027 programming announcement, SBS confirmed that the Eurovision Song Contest will head to Bulgaria, effectively placing the event within the broadcaster's plans for next year.
While the statement was not a standalone delegation-style press release, it is the clearest broadcaster-level confirmation yet that SBS intends to remain in the Contest for Burgas 2027.
The update also follows another strong year of engagement for Eurovision in Australia. SBS highlighted Eurovision as part of a successful 2026 season, reinforcing the Contest's importance within the broadcaster's international events portfolio.
Song Contest Radar will still watch for the formal announcement of Australia's artist and song selection route. But in practical terms, the country's 2027 participation is now on solid ground.
