It is set to take place in Gliwice, Poland, following the country's victory at the 4th contest with the song "Puszczaj" by Julia Pośnik. Organised by the executive directors, Nedas and Rob and host broadcaster Polsat, the contest will be held at the Gliwice Arena, and will consist of two semi-finals on 20 and 27 August, and a final on 3 September 2022.

City
Gliwice is a city in Upper Silesia, in southern Poland. As well as an important industrial center of Poland, it is also one of the major college towns in Poland, thanks to the Silesian University of Technology. Gliwice is the westernmost city of the Upper Silesian metropolis, a conurbation of 2.0 million people, and is the third-largest city of this area, with 177,049 permanent residents as of 2020. Gliwice was announced as the host city of the contest on the 17th of May.

Venue
Gliwice Arena is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Gliwice, Poland. It provides 13,752 seats in the stands (with room for up to 17,178 spectators) in the main arena and is considered one of the largest entertainment and sports halls in the country. It has also hosted the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2019.

Bidding phase and host city selection
After Poland won the fourth contest, information regarding potential venues was slowly gathered in order to help decide on an appropriate venue. Over the months leading up to April, a list of possible venues was developed, shortlisting 7 venues in 6 Polish cities.

The cities Gdańsk, Gliwice, Katowice, Łódź, Toruń, and the capital Warsaw, were revealed as the official candidates for hosting the contest. Warsaw had two bids, the Stadion Narodowy and the Warsaw EXPO. Each city and its venue were assessed in a variety of capacities to determine which would be deemed a viable host. Some basis for assessment included:


 * The size of the venue, ideally approximately 10,000 capacity
 * In a relatively established city, that people know and are familiar with
 * The difficulty in construction of a virtual venue

Provisional list of participants
On 3 May 2022, it was known that 36 countries will participate in the fifth contest without any announcement made. The list includes countries that participated last edition, along with 9 debutants and 10 returners.
