The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2019 was the seventeenth edition of the annual Junior Eurovision Song Contest, organised by Telewizja Polska (TVP) and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). It was held on 24 November 2019, at the Gliwice Arena in Gliwice, Poland, following the country's victory at the 2018 contest in Minsk, Belarus, with the song "Anyone I Want to Be", performed by Roksana Węgiel. It was the first time Poland had hosted the contest, as well as the first Eurovision event to be held in the country since the Eurovision Young Dancers 2013.
Nineteen countries participated in the contest, with Spain taking part for the first time since 2006, while Azerbaijan and Israel did not return to the contest having participated in 2018. Poland's Viki Gabor with the song "Superhero" was the winner of the contest, which makes Poland the first country to win the Junior Eurovision Song Contest two years in a row and the first country to win on home soil. Kazakhstan placed second, their best result to date. Returning country Spain placed third. The Netherlands and France completed the top five. Wales also earned their best result, 18th.
