BTRC, the Belarusian national broadcaster, has confirmed to ESCToday that Belarus will compete at the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest in The Netherlands.

Thus Belarus joins the list of countries who so far have confirmed their participation at the forthcoming ESC 2020 edition.

The Belarusian national broadcaster is expected to release more details on its plan of action for Eurovision 2020 in due course.

Belarus in Eurovision

Belarus debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2004 and is yet to win the competition. The country’s best result in the event was achieved in 2007 when Koldun placed 6th in Helsinki.

Belarus has competed 16 times in the contest and has not missed the competition since its debut. The Belarusians have only made it six times to the Grand Final in their 15 year Eurovision history.

In 2019 Zena was crowned the winner of the Belarusian national final and won the golden ticket to Tel Aviv with her entry Like it.
