Provisional list of participating countries
[edit]As of May 2021,[update] the following countries' broadcasters have confirmed their intention to compete in the 2022 contest:
Other countries
[edit]Eligibility for potential participation in the Eurovision Song Contest requires a national broadcaster with active EBU membership that would be able to broadcast the contest via the Eurovision network. The EBU has issued invitations to all active members. Associate member Australia does not need an invitation for the 2022 contest, as it had previously been granted permission to participate at least until 2023.[31]
Active EBU members
[edit]Andorra – Susanne Georgi, the 2009 Andorran representative, stated on 1 August 2020 during an interview on Eurovision fansite Wiwibloggs' podcast that she had held a meeting with Prime Minister of Andorra Xavier Espot Zamora. During the meeting, they verbally agreed for the country to make a return in 2022. They did not want to return to the previous year's contest due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[32] While Georgi continues to advocate for Andorra's participation, both the Andorran government and RTVA have stated that there are no plans for a 2022 return.[33]
Belarus – On 28 May 2021, the EBU suspended the membership of Belarusian broadcaster BTRC. BTRC was given two weeks to respond before the suspension comes into effect.[34][needs update]
Greece – In January 2021 it was announced that Greek national broadcaster ERT were intending to hold a national final for Eurovision 2022.[35] However, an official confirmation of participation is yet to be made.
Ireland – On 27 May 2021, the Irish Head of Delegation, Michael Kealy, spoke of a return to the national final for choosing the Irish representative to the Eurovision. Also former Irish competitors and winners have spoken out in favour of the return. An official confirmation of participation from RTÉ is yet to be made.[36]
The following countries participated in the 2021 contest, but have not released a statement on participation in 2022 as of May 2021[update]:
Broadcasters, commentators and spokespersons
[edit]The European Broadcasting Union provided international live streams of both semi-finals and the final through their official YouTube channel with no commentary
Broadcasters and commentators
[edit]All participating broadcasters may choose to have on-site or remote commentators providing an insight about the show and voting information to their local audience. While they must broadcast at least the semi-final they are voting in and the final, most broadcasters air all three shows with different programming plans. Similarly, some non-participating broadcasters may still want to air the contest. These are the broadcasters that have confirmed their broadcasting plans and/or their commentators:

Notes
[edit]- ^ Peacock is an over-the-top video streaming service owned by NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, which also owns NBC who is an Associate Member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) for the United States. After announcing that NBC would broadcast the American Song Contest in 2022, the EBU later announced that Peacock acquired rights to distribute both the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 and 2022 in the United States.[37][38] The contest will stream live with video-on-demand viewing available afterwards.[39]
