2025 Eurovision National Finals Calendar

The 2025 Eurovision national finals are closer than you think, and it’s time to start booking your winter weekends.

Sorry, Australia: We know it will be summer for you. I’m sure you can watch these national selections from your phones while at the beach.

Here, we are organizing a schedule of when we know the various national final competitions to be. Some have still not announced timetables as of November 2024, but this schedule will be updated when they do.

The final deadline for all songs to be submitted to the EBU is not yet known. In 2024, this deadline was the second weekend of March. By the middle of March 2025, you will likely know all the songs and performers taking part in the contest. At this point, expect the “pre-parties” to begin in earnest.
