Canada to join Eurovision Song Contest in 2027.
In 2027, Canada is set to make its debut in the Eurovision Song Contest, marking the first time a new nation has joined the competition since Australia did so in 2015. This development comes after the Canadian public broadcaster, CBC/Radio-Canada, obtained complete membership in the European Broadcasting Union, the organization responsible for hosting the contest. The Canadian government also allocated C$150 million (£80 million) in funds to the broadcaster specifically for investigating participation.
