The Eurovision Song Contest 2022 is set to be the 66th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. The contest will take place in Italy, following the country's victory at the 2021 contest with the song "Zitti e buoni" by Måneskin. It will be the third time that Italy hosts the contest, having previously done so for the 1965 and 1991 contests, held in Naples and Rome respectively.[1] The contest is due to be organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Radiotelevisione italiana (RAI).

Further information: List of countries in the Eurovision Song Contest

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 of participation in the contest 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.[45]

Active EBU members

  •  Andorra – On 1 August 2020, during an interview on Eurovision fansite Wiwibloggs' podcast, the 2009 Andorran representative Susanne Georgi revealed that she had held a meeting with Prime Minister of Andorra Xavier Espot Zamora, during which they verbally agreed for the country to make a return in 2022. They did not want to return for the previous year's contest due to the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic.[46]
  •  Belarus – On 28 May 2021, the EBU Executive Board agreed to suspend the membership of Belarusian broadcaster BTRC. The broadcaster was given two weeks to respond before the suspension comes into effect, but did not do so publicly.[47]
  •  Estonia – In May 2021, Spanish TV channel Ten announced that they will be broadcasting Eesti Laul 2022 (Estonian national selection for Eurovision Song Contest). However, it has not been confirmed whether the contest in 2022 will be used as the choice of the Estonian representative.[48]
  •  Greece – In January 2021 it was announced that Greek national broadcaster ERT were intending to hold a national final for Eurovision 2022.[49] However, an official confirmation of participation is yet to be made.
  •  Ireland – On 27 May 2021, Irish Head of Delegation Michael Kealy spoke of a return to the national final for choosing the 2022 Irish representative. Several former Irish competitors and winners have voiced support for the return. An official confirmation of participation from RTÉ is yet to be made.[50]
  •  Malta – On 17 May 2021, Maltese national broadcaster PBS has announced that the X Factor Malta will be returning for a third series. In 2019 and 2020 the X Factor Malta was used to select the Maltese representative for the Eurovision Song Contest, but PBS has yet to state whether this will be the case in 2022.[51]
  •  Slovakia – In June 2021, Radio and Television of Slovakia (RTVS) confirmed that they would not participate in 2022.[52] Slovakia last took part in 2012.
  •  Turkey – On 19 June 2021, İbrahim Eren, director general of Türkiye Radyo Televizyon Kurumu (TRT), stated that discussions have started between the EBU and the broadcaster regarding the Eurovision Song Contest.[53]
