The Eurovision Song Contest 2018 is the 63rd edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It will take place in Portugal following Salvador Sobral's victory in the 2017 contest with the song "Amar Pelos Dois". Russia is expected to return after withdrawing from the 2017 edition, following the travel-ban of their representative Yulia Samoylova from entering Ukraine.

As of 3 January 2025, thirteen countries have confirmed their intentions to participate in the contest.

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 Portugal.[1] The Eurovision Executive Supervisor, Jon Ola Sand, issued the hosting invitation to Rádio e Televisão de Portugal (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] A Portuguese Eurovision website reported on the day of the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest, that RTP would accept the challenge of organising the 2018 edition, having already expressed the MEO Arena in Lisbon as a potential venue.[3]

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 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.[18]

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.[19]

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.[20] However, on 9 May 2017 the IBA was shut down after the final broadcast of their regular nightly news programme.[21] 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.[22] 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.[23] IPBC are expected to apply for EBU membership later this year and if accepted, Israel will continue to participate.[24] However, at present, KAN does not operate a news division on the television channel, which is a requirement for EBU membership, which may mean KAN is unable to join the EBU.[25]
