NRK, the Norwegian national broadcaster, have confirmed their continued non-participation at the 2027 Junior Eurovision Song Contest.

While NRK planned to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2025, they will once again stay away due to a lack of a national final. Cathrine Irgens Nilsen, Head of Children’s Content at NRK, had the following to say:

“We have no plans to participate in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2027. We are currently focused on relaunching Melodi Grand Prix Junior, a show we haven’t produced in the last four years.”
