Eurovision Song Contest 2025: Where and When Is It Happening and More

Gear up for another round of excitement! The much-anticipated Eurovision Song Contest is fast approaching in 2025, and the big day isn’t too far off – mark your calendars for Saturday, 17th May, as confirmed by the BBC.

The article stated that viewers can watch the show on BBC One and iPlayer starting at 8 PM. On the final night, it is anticipated that 26 countries will perform in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 competition vying to be crowned champion.

It was further disclosed that there would be two live semi-finals taking place before the final showdown, specifically on May 13th and May 15th. This setup offers viewers an opportunity to witness each of the 47 participating nations vying for a spot in the main event.

This year’s competition is said to take place at the Jakobshalle arena in Basel, Switzerland – a first for this city to host such a distinguished event.
