Romania will participate in Eurovision 2027, after the success achieved by Alexandra Căpitănescu in 2026

The TVR Board of Administration decided on Wednesday, with 11 votes "in favor" and one abstention, that Romania will participate in the 71st edition of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2027.

This decision comes after the success achieved by Romania's representative, Alexandra Căpitănescu, who won third place in 2026 with the song "Choke me", accumulating 296 points.

Romania's participation will be carried out within the limits of the approved budget for 2027. TVR emphasizes that the early decision will allow for the efficient organization of the National Selection, attracting talents, and the proper preparation of Romania's representative.

Eurovision, held annually since 1956, is one of the most-watched television events worldwide, with over 160 million viewers. The 2027 edition will take place in May in Bulgaria, this year's winner.
