The Eurovision Song Contest 2020 was planned to be the 65th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It would have consisted of two semi-finals on 12 and 14 May and a final on 16 May 2020, to be held at Rotterdam Ahoy in Rotterdam, Netherlands. It was being organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcasters Nederlandse Publieke Omroep (NPO), Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS), and AVROTROS, all of which would have staged the event after AVROTROS had won the 2019 contest for the Netherlands with the song "Arcade" by Duncan Laurence. This was the first and only edition in the contest's history to be cancelled, being called off on 18 March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Broadcasters from forty-one countries would have participated in the contest; Bulgaria and Ukraine would have returned after their absence from the 2019 contest, while Hungary and Montenegro had confirmed their non-participation after taking part in the previous edition.
