The Netherlands will participate in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2027 after a boycott that began in 2026 due to concerns over the contest's neutrality amid geopolitical tensions. The Dutch broadcaster Avrotros had withdrawn from the competition, citing issues related to Israel's involvement and the ongoing Gaza conflict.
The European Broadcasting Union has made changes to the contest's rules to address politically motivated voting, but the NPO stated that these adjustments did not fully restore confidence in the event's impartiality. The 2027 contest is scheduled for May 14 in Burgas, Bulgaria.
