Venue
Following Salvador Sobral's victory at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 with the song "Amar Pelos Dois", the 2018 edition is scheduled to take place in MEO Arena in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, and will be organised by the Portuguese public broadcaster Rádio e Televisão de Portugal (RTP).[1] The Eurovision Executive Supervisor, Jon Ola Sand, issued the hosting invitation to RTP during the winner's press conference, and it is expected that a bidding phase in order to select the host city will be carried out similar to the previous contests.[1] The dates for the contest are yet to be determined, although it is expected to be held in May 2018.[2]

Other countries
Eligibility for potential participation in the Eurovision Song Contest requires a national broadcaster with active EBU membership that will be able to broadcast the contest via the Eurovision network. The EBU will issue an invitation of participation in the contest to all fifty-six active members. Several countries have provisionally confirmed their participation in the contest, while information from the remaining members regarding their participation have not yet been disclosed.[15]
Associate EBU members
Australia – Although it is unknown whether the Australian broadcaster Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) will be invited to participate in the 2018 edition, the Head of Delegation – Paul Clarke, has stated that they would look into the possibility of holding their own national final in order to select their representatives for future contests.[16]
Non-EBU members
Israel – The Israeli Broadcasting Authority (IBA) had announced on 20 March 2017, that they were preparing for Rising Star 2018 (the selection process for Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest), thus confirming their provisional intent to participate at Eurovision 2018.[17] However, on 9 May 2017 the IBA was unexpectedly closed down after the final broadcast of their regular nightly news programme.[18] As a consequence all regular programming on television and radio would be discontinued, with the television stations of the IBA displaying an informational slide and the radio stations playing music. The second semi-final and final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 would be the last programmes to be transmitted by the IBA.[19] The new broadcasting corporations, Israel Public Broadcasting Corporation (IPBC) and "KAN" (Template:Lang-he), are not members of the EBU, which is a requirement to participate in the Song Contest.[20]
