One of the world's biggest spectacles has arrived. Eurovision 2025 kicks off May 13 with an epic live show in St. Jakobshalle, Basel. Switzerland is hosting this year's competition following its victory last year, when singer Nemo performed "The Code."
The songwriting competition that has delighted European audiences since 1956 is now easy to tune into in America as well. Whether you're already hip to the fever dream that is Eurovision or you're new to the storied song contest, now is a good time to join in the fun. Think American Idolon an acid trip. It's truly a sight to behold, with jaw-dropping fashion, bizarre songs, flashy choreography, and stuff you can't even put into words.
Don't miss out on the music and the madness — here's everything you need to know about how to watch the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest live in the U.S.
The 69th Eurovision Song Contest live shows kick off this week in Basel, Switzerland. The first semi-final is Tuesday, May 13 at 3:00 p.m. ET, with the second semi-final and grand final following on Thursday, May 15 and Saturday, May 17 at the same time.
The top contenders from each semi-final earn a place in the grand final on Saturday, where they'll compete alongside the Big 5 (United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, France, and Italy) and the host nation, Switzerland. You won't catch these six countries in the semi-finals, as they have guaranteed spots in the finals.
