Eurovision 2025 – Semi-Finals Live
On May 13, 8 PM BST, the Eurovision spectacle of 2025 will begin with the first Semi-Final.
The second Semi-Final will begin at the same time on May 15, at 8 PM. The semi-finals broadcast usually lasts about two and a half hours, with 15-16 performers appearing and several guest performances at various points of the show.
At the end of the broadcast, we find out which countries have made it to the final, and then the show ends.
Eurovision 2025 – Grand Final Live
You will need to set aside much more time for Saturday evening, as the Eurovision Grand Final will begin at 8 PM UK time but last over four hours.
The main reason why the final is so much longer than the Semis is that 26 performers will take to the stage instead of 15 or 16. At the end, there’s a break for voting, and then the vote calling procedure begins. Each country gets 1-2 minutes to share their jury votes, thus making the Grand Final a very long but exciting spectacle.
Once the jury’s votes are in, one by one, the hosts call out the televoting results until the final winner is announced.
