This will be the second time the contest has taken place in Ukraine, after 2005. The host city will be announced at a later date, although a few cities have shown their interest in hosting the contest. The contest is expected to consist of two semi-finals on 16 and 18 May and the final on 20 May 2017.
As of 26 January 2025, fourteen countries have expressed their intention to participate in the contest.
Location
Bidding phase
As of 20 May 2016, six cities have expressed an interest in hosting the contest: Cherkasy, Dnipropetrovsk, Kherson, Kiev, Lviv and Odessa.
The mayor of Dnipropetrovsk, Borys Filatov, expressed on 15 May 2016 his desire for the contest to be held in his city.[1][2] The mayor of Kherson, Volodymyr Mikolayenko, announced on 15 May 2016 that discussions have taken place regarding the contest taking place in Kherson.[3][4]
The mayor of Kiev, Vitali Klitschko, expressed his desire for Kiev to host the contest on 15 May 2016, naming the Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex as a potential venue.[4][5] The mayor of Lviv, Andriy Sadovyi, stated on 15 May 2016 that Lviv is ready to host the contest to the highest standards, adding that Arena Lviv, one of the venues for UEFA Euro 2012, would be a suitable venue.[2][6] The mayor of Odessa, Gennadiy Trukhanov, announced on 15 May 2016 that he would like the contest to be held in Odessa.[7][8]
The former head of host broadcaster National Television Company of Ukraine (NTU), Taras Stets'kiv, stated in an interview with the BBC's Ukrainian service on 16 May 2016 that while Ukraine can afford to host the contest, he believes that the proposal to host the contest at the Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex is unrealistic, adding that Lviv also lacks an appropriate venue for the contest.[9][10]
Deputy Chief of NTU and the Head of Delegation for Ukraine, Viktoria Romanova, stated on 18 May 2016 that the first organisational meeting for the contest will take place before 8 June 2016, during which the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and NTU will go through the technical requirements for the contest, as well as any training required for the contest to take place in Ukraine. Romanova also announced that the venue for the contest will be announced over the summer.[11][12][13]
The Ukrainian Prime Minister, Volodymyr Groysman, announced on 18 May 2016 that he would like a bidding process to be set up in order for the bidding cities to have an equal opportunity to host the contest.[12][14]

Format
Preliminary dates
The preliminary dates for the contest were announced on 14 March 2016 at a meeting of Heads of Delegation in Stockholm, with the semi-finals scheduled to take place on 16 and 18 May and the final on 20 May 2017. These preliminary dates were chosen by the EBU to avoid the contest clashing with any major television and sporting events scheduled to take place around that time. However, these dates are subject to change, depending on the wishes of NTU, upon approval from a meeting of the contest's Reference Group, which will take place after the 2016 contest.[16]

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. It is unknown whether an invitation will be issued to associate member Australia. The following countries have made announcements regarding their participation in the contest:[37]
Active EBU members
- Andorra – Ràdio i Televisió d'Andorra (RTVA) announced on 19 May 2016 that they are not currently considering participating in the 2017 contest, adding that it is not logistically possible for unspecified reasons.[38]
- Bulgaria – After a successful return in the 2016 contest with "If Love Was a Crime", performed by Poli Genova, Bulgarian National Television (BNT) announced on 15 May 2016 that "[they] are back to Kiev where it all started for [them]". However, BNT have not made a formal announcement regarding participation in the 2017 contest.[39]
- Croatia – A spokesperson for Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT) stated on 28 November 2015 that Croatia would participate in the 2017 contest if they participated in 2016. Croatia indeed participated in the 2016 contest with "Lighthouse", performed by Nina Kraljić, which makes participation in the 2017 contest an open possibility. The spokesperson added that similar to the selection of Kraljić as the winner of the first series, HRT would probably internally select the winner of the second series of The Voice – Najljepši glas Hrvatske, Ruža Janjiš. However, as of 18 May 2016, HRT have not made an announcement regarding participation in the 2017 contest.[40]
- Romania – Romania’s future participation in the contest was put into doubt on 22 April 2016, when the EBU withdrew Romanian Television (TVR) from all member services due to repeated non-payment of debts going back to January 2007 and the threat of insolvency. This in turn resulted in Romania to be forcibly withdrawn from the 2016 contest.[41] However, TVR stated during a special broadcast on 24 April that: "We still have a chance. It’s not the fault of the EBU. We must first solve our internal problems. We hope to remain EBU members and participate in Eurovision next year. Thank you for being with us!"[42]
- Russia – It is unknown whether Russia will participate in the 2017 contest due to ongoing disputes with Ukraine. Russian officials and some politicians in Crimea had previously complained that the winning Ukrainian entry was "politically" natured,[43] a complaint that was dismissed by the contest's Reference Group.[citation needed]
- Slovakia – Radio and Television Slovakia (RTVS) explained on 12 April 2016 that Slovakia's absence from the contest since 2012 was due to the "cost involved in participation". The broadcaster's PR manager, Juraj Kadáš, stated that while the contest is an attractive project, "RTVS has its own programming strategy" and financing domestic television production is prioritized over a potential participation in the contest. RTVS also stated that participation in the 2017 contest would be discussed later in 2016.[44]
- Turkey – Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) issued a written statement to the EBU on 12 May 2016, stating that they will participate in the contest, but it is unknown as of yet whether they will follow up with this statement. There have been multiple reports in recent years that Turkey will return to the contest, none of which have come to be true. Turkey last participated in 2012, withdrawing afterwards due to their discontent at the introduction of a mixed voting system to the contest and the pre-qualification of the "Big Five" for the final.[45]
Associate EBU members
- Australia – It is unknown whether Australia will return to the contest in 2017, as the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) would require an invitation of participation from NTU. The CEO and Managing Director of SBS, Michael Ebeid, said the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) stated on 16 May 2016 that SBS was finalising negotiations with the EBU for Australia to participate in the contest in 2017. While it is likely that Australia will participate after finishing in second place in 2016, nothing has been confirmed yet.[46][47]
- Kazakhstan – Khabar Agency became an associate member of the EBU on 1 January 2016; therefore, debuting in the contest in the future is a possibility.[48]
EBU non-members
- Kosovo – Albanian news portal Koha reported on 6 April 2016 that the Director General of Radio Television of Kosovo (RTK), Mentor Shala, had announced at a press conference that Kosovo had been invited to participate in the 2017 contest and a decision on whether or not to take up the invitation would be made later in 2016.[49] However, this was confirmed to be untrue, after Shala said in a statement on 7 April that his comments were misinterpreted by Koha, and what he actually meant was that "RTK was invited to Eurovision Committee and Kosovo’s acceptance or not in the Eurovision depends on them".[50] This was backed-up by a statement from the EBU.[51]
