- After the Netherlands declined to host for a second time in three years, the BBC staged the contest in London.
- The field expanded to 13 countries with Luxembourg returning and Norway debuting; Luxembourg also provided the first-ever entry sung in Luxembourgish.
- Jury procedure was notably updated as national juries were allowed to hear and use recordings of the final rehearsals before voting.
- The planned reprise of the top three was dropped, leaving only the winner to repeat, and the outgoing champion Teddy Scholten became the first previous winner to present the trophy, establishing a tradition.
