The Polish broadcaster TVP has announced that it confirms its participation in Eurovision 2027, to be held in Burgas, Bulgaria, while simultaneously revealing details about the local national selection.
The Polish broadcaster TVP confirmed that Poland will participate in Eurovision 2027 in Burgas, Bulgaria. Poland is the 23rd country to confirm its participation in the coveted contest. Among the countries that have already confirmed their participation are Israel, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, Finland, Canada making its debut in the contest, and the host country, Bulgaria.
A Polish national selection? The decision has been made
The broadcaster confirmed that a national selection will be held to choose the representative for the contest, and further details will be revealed at a later date. The director chosen to produce and direct the local competition is Jacek Dybowski, who has been working in the television industry for over three decades and has been responsible for directing the Polish Eurovision performances since 2024. For the past two years, the competition was open to the general public, and the decision regarding the representative’s identity was made entirely by the viewers at home. It now remains to be seen which format will be chosen this year.
Poland at Eurovision: The Chase for Replicating Its First Success
Poland is often viewed as an unpredictable participant in the Eurovision Song Contest. The country has competed 27 times but has never secured a victory. It has missed the competition four times.
Poland first joined Eurovision in 1994 and immediately reached the top of the scoreboard when Edyta Górniak and the song “To Nie Ja!” finished second with 166 points — setting a high standard for future entries. The following year, Justyna Steczkowska represented Poland with “Sama”, finishing 18th, though the song marked an early artistic highlight for the nation.
Poland’s points average gradually declined, leading to irregular appearances throughout the 2000s. The introduction of semifinals also proved challenging: between 2005 and 2011, Poland reached the final just once — in 2008, finishing tied in last place with Germany and the United Kingdom.
The country skipped Eurovision in 2000, 2002, 2012, and 2013. Aside from its debut performance in 1994, Poland has reached the Top 10 only twice more: in Eurovision 2003 (7th place) and Eurovision 2016 (8th place).
Since semifinals were introduced in 2004, Poland has qualified for the grand final nine times out of 19 attempts, often experiencing long streaks of non-qualification, in 2005–2007, in 2009–2011, and in 2018–2021. Polish entries tend to perform far better with televoters than with juries, regularly showing wide gaps in scoring between the criticizing juries and the loving televote.
In 2025, Poland set a record for the longest comeback in Eurovision history when Justyna Steczkowska, who competed in 1995, returned to represent Poland again in Eurovision 2025 in Basel, marking a 30-year return to the stage.

“Pray” is the song that performed by the singer Alicja Szemplinska, who represented Poland in Vienna, Austria. The song was written by the singer together with Sinclair Alan Malcolm and Weronika Gabryelczyk. The song is performed entirely in English.
Poland Reached 12 place in the grand final with 150th points
Eurovision 2027: This will be Poland’s 29th participation in the Eurovision Song Contest. Poland joined the competition in 1994 and achieved its best result that same year when singer Edyta Górniak reached second place with the song “To nie ja!”.
