Eligibility for potential participation in the Own Eurovision Song Contest requires a national broadcaster with active OEBU membership that would be able to broadcast the contest. As in every edition, an invitation to all the members has been sent in order to confirm whether they will participate or not. The following list of countries declined to state their reasons as shown below.
 * The broadcaster failed to state their intentions regarding the upcoming edition, thus not being present in the final list of participants.
 * Austrian broadcaster ÖRF has just confirmed that Austria won't participate in the 56th edition of OESC. The main reason for their withdrawal is that ÖRF doesn't want to participate in a possible quarterfinal. A return next edition is not excluded.
 * The head of delegation announced that the country would be taking a one edition break.
 * The head of delegation stated that the country would not return to the contest due to them leaving the position. A return in the next edition is not ruled out as a new HoD is expected to be hired by then.
 * Despite being directly qualified for the final, the broadcaster missed the deadline for confirmations, thus being forced to withdraw.
 * The resignation of the Monegasque head of delegation led to the Luxembourger delegation take over Monaco. However, as a new delegation couldn't be appointed, Luxembourg is ineligible to compete this edition.
 * Since the acceptance of Gibraltar in the contest, BBC Scotland believes that it's the right time to finally return independently. Scotland has taken part since its debut in the 3rd edition, until they merged into the United Kingdom in the 44th edition. The head of delegation stated that "United Kingdom is not interested in the Scottish music, making us a void and forgetting about our beloved music industry".
 * The head of delegation announced that the country would be taking a one edition break.
 * The broadcaster failed to state their intentions regarding the upcoming edition, thus not being present in the final list of participants.
