OREANDA-NEWS The state television and radio company of Kazakhstan "Khabar" has denied information about the application for participation in the international song contest "Eurovision-2027". RIA Novosti writes about this.

"This information is completely untrue," the company stressed.

It is noted that negotiations on this issue are not underway at the moment, and there are no plans to hold a national selection. The TV and radio company clarified that in July 2025 they sent a letter to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) with a request to consider the possibility of Kazakhstan's participation in Eurovision 2026 and changing the agency's status in the union. In January 2026, the EBU replied that, in accordance with the requirements of the organization, Kazakhstan's participation in the competition was impossible.

Earlier on September 11, it was reported that the European Broadcasting Union rejected Kazakhstan's bid to participate in Eurovision. The EBU statement said that Kazakhstan is located outside the European broadcasting area, is not a member of the Council of Europe and does not have observer status with this organization.
