Belgium
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bulgaria
Cyprus
Denmark
Estonia
Finland
Georgia
Hungary
Iceland
Ireland
Israel
Latvia
Lithuania
Malta

Ukraine

Of the countries automatically in the final only Azerbaijan, Germany, Spain and United Kingdom have confirmed their entry.

Rumours are that the Czech Republic could be returning to the contest having not returned since 2009. While there is also talk that Morocco could enter the contest again. Morocco only entered in 1980 when they came 18th only beating the Belgian entry of that year.

Rumours also abound that Armenia, Portugal and Slovakia could be withdrawing from the contest.

Of course its all speculation at the moment but we should have confirmation in the New Year of final line up
