The EBU and CBC/Radio-Canada have announced Canada’s participation in Eurovision 2027, which will take place in Bulgaria.
New country in the Eurovision Song Contest
The news of Canada’s participation comes after it was revealed that CBC/Radio Canada was granted full membership to the EBU.
Marie-Philippe Bouchard, President and CEO of CBC/Radio-Canada, comments:
On this Canada Day, as we celebrate with Canadians across the country and around the world the richness and diversity of Canadian culture, we’re so excited to confirm that we’re bringing the world’s largest live music event to Canadians.
Our participation in the Eurovision Song Contest, starting next year in Bulgaria, will allow Canadian talent to be showcased on one of the most storied music stages in the world. It will also allow fans in Canada to continue watching and voting in the Song Contest, as they have done for years – with the added thrill of seeing their own country represented on the Eurovision stage.
Martin Green CBE, Director, Eurovision Song Contest at the EBU, comments:
We are absolutely delighted to welcome CBC/Radio-Canada to the Eurovision Song Contest family – a further sign that, while born in Europe, the Contest continues to welcome the world.
Canada has a proud and memorable connection to the Contest, with Canadian artists, not least 1988 winner Céline Dion, having taken to our stage many times leaving a lasting mark on audiences around the world. With CBC/Radio-Canada now able to participate in the Contest as a full EBU Member, we look forward to seeing Canada bring its own voice, creativity, and energy to the Eurovision Song Contest stage in Bulgaria in 2027.
CBC/Radio-Canada will unveil details on how Canada’s entry will be selected later this year.
