Active FBA members
De Vremdspongeln: After failing to confirm in the twenty-third and twenty-fourth editions, the Vremd Head of Delegation, Laura Trocknens announced on 13 June 2021 that broadcaster DV1 would no longer participate in the contest, citing a lack of government support furthered by budget cuts to the broadcaster.
Hwaesonna: On 27 May 2021, Hwaesonna announced that they would take a break from the contest, citing conflicting scheduling, as the country plans to observe a national holiday during the dates of the competition that will feature numerous live events and televised broadcasts. A return in the 26th edition has not been ruled out and participation seems likely.
Loutreniye: On 27 May 2021, Loutreniye announced that they would take a break from the contest, citing low view ratings, as well as a general lack of enthusiasm towards the contest from the viewing public at large. The broadcaster stated that they still intended to participate in the future.
Scandavia: On 29 May 2021, Scandavia announced that they would take a break from the contest, citing historically low viewing figures, another non-qualification and bad reviews on the broadcaster. A return in the future has not yet been discussed.
