Expo 2027 participant tracker
Who is coming to Expo 2027 Belgrade, in numbers: the official participant count, every country a source has publicly named, and how the total has grown — independently tracked and sourced.
141
international participants (organiser, Aug 2026)
96
countries publicly named so far
5
continents represented among named countries
№1
largest Specialised Expo by participants — Astana 2017's record fell in July 2025
Read the two numbers honestly. The organiser's own August 2026 figure is
141 international participants — the official Participants page counter last
read 139 and names only a subset. Our table lists the 96 countries a source has
actually named — absence from it does not mean absence from the Expo. Background:

How the number has grown
Confirmed-participant milestones, each linked to its source.

Caveats we track so you don't have to:
- The headline figure (141) is the organiser's own count of 'international participants', not strictly countries, and the official page individually names far fewer.
- Countries appear in our table only when a source names them; absence here does not mean absence from the Expo.
- Announced dates are confirmation dates as reported by Wikipedia's participants table where available.
- Egypt and Canada appear in some coverage but without a firm source naming them — excluded until confirmed.
- Late-joining countries are being offered the smaller collective formats (330, 660 or 990 m²) rather than standalone plots — the organiser says the site is close to full.
