Avrotros stated it would not take part next year, but NPO, which oversees public broadcasting in the country, stepped in and pledged last month that the country would return in 2027.
Due to the sensitivities surrounding the themes currently at play, NPO decided to take a step back for the time being. At the same time, the organisation stated that it believes the Eurovision Song Contest matters in a divided world.
Eurovision organisers announced a number of changes in an attempt to address divisions, including a rule to exclude any country involved in an armed conflict from hosting the competition, alongside changes to the voting system.
That spirit of unity is what the contest has always stood for, and organisers added that they are committed to protecting it.
NPO acknowledged that some Dutch fans may be disappointed, but confirmed that the contest would still be aired in the Netherlands.
Organisers stated they looked forward to welcoming a Dutch entry again when they feel the time is right.
The Netherlands and four other countries boycotted this year's event after Dutch network Avrotros pulled out.
Avrotros said it would also not take part next year, but NPO, which oversees public broadcasting in the country, stepped in and pledged last month that the country would return in 2027.
