This year’s finalists include Switzerland (naturally, since they’re hosting), plus the so-called Big Five – France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK – who get an automatic pass to the final because of their massive financial contributions to Eurovision.
So if you’re keen to catch all the drama and over-the-top performances – complete with numerous key changes – here’s how to tune in and watch the euro-pop madness unfold.
How to watch Eurovision 2025
