Because the introduction of the semi finals, there is no maximum of participating countries. However, since the seventeenth edition the EBU announced that they would put a new maximum of countries. This meant that 41 countries were able to sign for a participation. This means that each semi final would have 20 countries, plus the host nation (who qualify automatically). Until now, they never reached this limit. Because of the limited number of participants, there was no semi final.

From the 27th edition unitil the 30th edition, the last three countries have to withdraw from the competition. This is to give other countries the possibility to return to the contest because of the limited spots. Since the 31st edition there is one semi-final, with a maximum of 20 countries.
