Turkvision Song Contest 2017 (Turkish: Türkvizyon Şarkı Yarışması 2017) was to be the fourth edition of Turkvision Song Contest, and would have taken place at the Saryarka Velodrome, in Astana, Kazakhstan; and organised by TMB TV. The contest was originally scheduled to take place in December 2016, but was cancelled due to on-going events in Turkey. The 2017 edition was to consist of a semi-final and a grand final taking place on 29 and 31 August 2017, but on October 20 the contest was cancelled for the second year in a row, without giving any reasons. Fifteen Turkic regions, which have either a large Turkic population or a widely spoken Turkic language, confirmed their participation in the contest. Latvia, Moldova, Netherlands, Poland, Stavropol Krai and Sweden were to make their debut, whilst Bashkortostan, and Crimea would both return after a two-year absence. As of now, there is no immediate future for the Turkvision Song Contest.
The contest was originally scheduled to take place in Turkey, but was later announced as being cancelled due to the December 2016 Istanbul bombings, marking the first time since the inaugural contest in 2013 that a cancellation of the contest had occurred.
In February 2017 it was announced by Ministry of Culture and Sports in Kazakhstan, that the 2017 edition would take place in Astana, Kazakhstan, and would coincide with other events taking place in the city as part of Expo 2017.
