Active EBU members
  •  Slovenia  – On 5 February 2022, RTSLO confirmed that they would not participate in the contest due to financial issues.[15]
  •  Spain  – In April 2020 RTVE confirmed their intention to participate in future edition of Eurovision Young Musicians after being unable to confirm their participation in time for the 2020 edition.[16] However, Spain did not appear on the final list released on 21 February.
