Junior Eurovision 2024: What we know
Since France won the 2023 contest on home soil, French broadcaster France Télévisions had the right of first refusal to host the 2024 contest. They declined to host for the third time in four years.

This year’s competition will take place on Saturday, the 16th of November, at Caja Mágica, with the venue holding up to 6,000 spectators.
