The Eurovision Song Contest 2017 will be the 62nd edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It will take place in Ukraine, which won the 2016. The host city, which will probably be Kiev, will be announced when decided. The contest is expected to consist of two semi-finals on 16 and 18 May and the final on 20 May 2017.

As of 9 January 2025, seven countries have expressed their intention to participate in the contest.

Format

Preliminary dates

The preliminary dates for the contest were announced on 14 March 2016 at a meeting of Heads of Delegation in Stockholm, with the semi-finals scheduled to take place on 16 and 18 May and the final on 20 May 2017. These preliminary dates were chosen by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to avoid the contest clashing with any major television and sporting events scheduled to take place around that time. However, these dates are subject to change dependent on the host broadcaster, upon approval from a meeting of the EBU Reference Group meeting, which will take place after the 2016 contest.[1]

Eligibility for potential participation in the Eurovision Song Contest requires a national broadcaster with active EBU membership that will be able to broadcast the contest via the Eurovision network. The EBU will issue an invitation of participation in the contest to all fifty-six active members. It is unknown whether an invitation will be issued to associate member Australia. The following countries have made announcements regarding participation in the contest:[12]

Active EBU members

  •  Romania – Romania’s future participation in the contest has been put into doubt as on 22 April 2016, the EBU suspended broadcaster Televiziunea Română (TVR) from all EBU member services due to the repeated non-payment of debts going back to 2007 and the threat of insolvency. This in turn resulted in Romania to be forcibly withdrawn from participating in the 2016 contest.[13] However, during a special broadcast on 24 April 2016, TVR stated that: "We still have a chance. It’s not the fault of the EBU. We must first solve our internal problems. We hope to remain EBU members and participate in Eurovision next year. Thank you for being with us!"[14]
  •  Slovakia – Rozhlas a televízia Slovenska (RTVS) explained on 12 April 2016 that Slovakia's absence from the contest since 2012 was due to the "cost involved in participation". The broadcaster's PR manager, Juraj Kadáš, stated that while the contest is an attractive project, "RTVS has its own programming strategy" and financing domestic television production is prioritized over a potential participation in the contest. RTVS also stated that participation in the 2017 contest would be discussed later in 2016.[15]
  •  Turkey – The Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) has issued a written statement to the EBU that they will compete in the 2017 contest, but it is unknown whether they will follow up with this statement. In the past couple of years, there have been multiple reports that Turkey will return to the Eurovision Song Contest, but none have come to be true. Turkey last participated in the 2012 contest, but then withdrew from the contest due to disagreement with the use of juries and the "big five" in the contest.[16]
