Denmark’s national broadcaster has begun preliminary discussions about hosting Eurovision 2027, despite the 2026 contest not yet taking place.
The planning
Denmark’s Head of Delegation, Erik Struve Hansen, revealed that DR has already spoken with potential host locations about the possibility of staging the contest. He also told:
“It’s very hubristic to start planning something like that. But we have to. So of course we have talked to some of the places in Denmark that can host such events, and talked about the possibility. But it’s all written in pencil, because anything can happen But it would be really annoying to be completely clueless about what we should do if it ends with a Danish victory. So of course we will keep it if we win. There are some who have asked if we want to. But of course we will, and of course there will also be somewhere that thinks it would be cool to put a framework in place if we end up in that situation.”
Denmark’s Eurovision Journey
Denmark first participated in the Eurovision Song Contest back in 1957 and notched up their first win in 1963 with Grethe and Jørgan Ingmann’s “Dansevise”. Denmark later earned two third-place finishes in 1988 and 1989 but was then relegated three times in 1994, 1996, and 1998. They finally achieved their second victory in 2000 with the Olsen Brothers’ “Fly on the Wings of Love”, and have missed the Grand Final eight times since the introduction of the semi-finals. A six-year qualification streak from 2008 culminated in its third win in 2013 with Emmelie de Forrest’s “Only Teardrops
Sissal represented Denmark in 2025 with “Hallucination”. She qualified for the final, breaking Denmark’s five-year non-qualification streak. She would eventually finish in 23rd place, earning 47 points. Of these, 45 came from juries, while 2 came from the televote.
