Eurovision Song Contest 2027
72nd edition of the Eurovision Song Contest
The Eurovision Song Contest 2027 is the upcoming 71st edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It will consist of two semi-finals on 11 and 13 May and a final on 15 May 2027, held at Arena Burgas in Burgas, Bulgaria. It is being organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Bulgarian National Television (BNT), which will stage the event after winning the 2026 contest for Bulgaria with the song "Bangaranga" by Dara.
Location
The 2027 contest will take place in Burgas, Bulgaria, following the country's victory at the 2026 contest with "Bangaranga", performed by Dara. It will be the first edition of the contest hosted in Bulgaria and the second Eurovision event held in the country, after the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015 in Sofia. The selected venue for the contest is Arena Burgas, which serves as a venue for indoor sports and concert events.
Bidding phase
After Bulgaria's win in 2026, Milena Milotinova, director of Bulgarian National Television (BNT), said during the winner's press conference that the broadcaster was ready to host the 2027 contest in Sofia. Between 17 and 18 May 2026, the mayors of Burgas, Sofia, Plovdiv, and Varna all declared readiness for their respective city to host the event. By 21 May, the Bulgarian government had begun establishing an interdepartmental working group, headed by Deputy Prime Minister Ivo Hristov, to coordinate preparations for the contest. BNT opened the bidding process on 8 June, issuing requirements for the four interested cities, all of which delivered their bids by 3 July.
