Canada has officially been confirmed as a participant in the 2027 Eurovision Song Contest, marking its first appearance in the competition. This decision was announced by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) on July 1, 2026. Canada becomes the first new country to join Eurovision since Australia entered the contest in 2015 and is designated as a full member of the EBU, allowing it to participate under standard terms rather than a special status.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) recently became an EBU member, which paved the way for Canada’s participation. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney had previously allocated C$150 million to the national broadcaster in 2025, intending to facilitate Canada's involvement in international competitions like Eurovision. The upcoming contest in 2027 is scheduled to take place in Bulgaria, where Canada will compete in the semi-finals.
