The estimated date of the next Eurovision Grand Final is Saturday, May 15, 2027.

This remains an estimated date until the European Broadcasting Union and Bulgarian host broadcaster BNT publish the final schedule. May 15 is currently the most likely option based on the available planning timetable and Eurovision’s usual Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday show format.

• Estimated First Semi-Final: Tuesday, May 11, 2027
• Estimated Second Semi-Final: Thursday, May 13, 2027
• Estimated Grand Final: Saturday, May 15, 2027

The countdown date should be treated as provisional. It may change when the host city, venue and live-show dates are formally confirmed.

Where Will Eurovision 2027 Be Held?

Bulgaria will host the Eurovision Song Contest 2027. The country earned the right to stage the event after DARA won Eurovision 2026 in Vienna with “Bangaranga.” It will be the first Eurovision Song Contest hosted in Bulgaria.

The final host city has not yet been announced. Sofia and Burgas are the two remaining candidates after Plovdiv and Varna were removed from the selection process.

Sofia

Sofia’s proposal is centred on Arena Sofia. The capital offers a large indoor venue, an international airport, public transport connections and prior experience with Eurovision events. Sofia hosted the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2015.

Burgas

Burgas has proposed Arena Burgas as its contest venue. The Black Sea city also has an international airport, a large visitor accommodation sector and an arena designed for major indoor events.

BNT and the European Broadcasting Union will announce the selected city after the remaining venue, transport, hotel and production assessments are completed.

Expected Eurovision 2027 Schedule

Eurovision normally consists of three televised competition nights held during the same week. Rehearsals, preview shows and delegation activities begin before the first live semi-final.

First Semi-Final

The first semi-final is estimated for Tuesday, May 11, 2027. Countries assigned to this show will compete for places in the Grand Final. The exact allocation will be decided through the semi-final draw after the participant list is confirmed.

Second Semi-Final

The second semi-final is estimated for Thursday, May 13, 2027. Another group of participating broadcasters will compete, while eligible viewers and juries cast their votes under the rules announced for the 2027 contest.

The Eurovision 2027 Grand Final is estimated for Saturday, May 15, 2027. Qualifiers from both semi-finals will join the countries receiving automatic final places under the contest rules.

The final running order, opening time and show length will be published closer to the event.

How to Watch Eurovision 2027

The two semi-finals and Grand Final will be shown by participating public broadcasters. Availability depends on the viewer’s country and the broadcasting rights held by the local Eurovision broadcaster.

Online streaming is also normally provided through Eurovision’s official digital channels. Regional restrictions may apply in some countries, so local television schedules should be checked when the broadcast details are released.

Live-show starting times will be announced with the final schedule. Eurovision broadcasts commonly begin at 21:00 Central European Summer Time, but the 2027 start time is not yet confirmed.

Who Will Compete at Eurovision 2027?

Canada has been confirmed for its Eurovision debut in 2027. Its broadcaster will also announce how the country’s first artist and song will be selected.

Each participating broadcaster chooses its entry through a national selection, an internal selection or a combination of both methods. Songs and performers are usually revealed gradually during the months before Eurovision week.
