Canada Joins Eurovision in 2027 | Dublin News

Canada is officially joining the Eurovision Song Contest in 2027, becoming the first new country since Australia in 2015 — and it’s a big deal. As a member of the European Broadcasting Union, Canada taps into the global spectacle that draws 130 million viewers, despite recent controversies like last year’s boycott over Israel’s participation and Russia’s absence since 2022. Canadians have already shown strong Eurovision loyalty, consistently ranking top three in the “Rest of the World” vote and buying the most tickets outside Europe. CBC/Radio Canada will reveal how they’ll choose Canada’s representative later this year, with the next contest hosted in Bulgaria — the first time they’ve hosted since the contest’s European roots. And hey, even Céline Dion started her legendary career on that very stage in 1988, representing Switzerland. This move is all about giving Canadian artists a global stage and letting fans rally behind their own country.
