Poland’s national broadcaster, Telewizja Polska (TVP), has officially launched its search for the country’s representative at the 71st Eurovision Song Contest in 2027. Aspiring artists and songwriters are now invited to submit their entries for consideration. The submission window opens today, October 1, 2026, and will remain open for a month and a half.
Submissions open for Poland’s Eurovision 2027 entry
TVP has confirmed that it will once again use a national final to determine Poland’s participant for the Eurovision Song Contest 2027. This decision follows a trend of national selections used by the broadcaster in recent years to choose their Eurovision hopefuls. The 71st edition of the Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Burgas, Bulgaria, with the Grand Final scheduled for May 15, 2027.
Artists and composers eager to represent Poland on the international stage have from October 1 to November 15, 2026, to submit their original songs. The submitted entries will then be evaluated, leading to a televised national final where the Polish public and/or a jury will have their say in selecting the winning act.
TVP has published the rules and regulations for the Polish Eurovision 2027 national final.
- The National Preselection will select Poland’s representative for Eurovision 2027, which will take place in May in Bulgaria
- Applications can be submitted from October 1 to November 15, 2026.
- The candidates will be assessed by the competition committee, and the winner of the entire plebiscite will be decided by the viewers in a vote.
The 2027 Polish national selection will consist of several stages:
- Stage I – Evaluation and verification of applications- After the application deadline (11:59 PM on November 15, 2026), the committee secretary will conduct a formal review of the submitted materials.
