NOS to Broadcast Eurovision Song Contest, but Broadcasters Jointly Select the Artist
The Netherlands will participate in the 2027 Eurovisie Songfestival in Burgas, Bulgaria, with a new format separating broadcasting from artist selection. The NOS will handle all broadcasts, previews, and commentary on NPO 1, while an expert commission composed of representatives from multiple broadcasters will jointly choose the Dutch entry. This decision by the NPO breaks from recent traditions where single organizations managed both tasks, aiming for neutrality in coverage and shared financial responsibility through an overarching budget.
