Eurovision 2025 final running order and song list in full as 26 countries fight for win
The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 final is taking place tonight in Basel, Switzerland, with 26 countries competing to be crowned the winner - and the running order has now been revealed
The 2025 Eurovision Song Contest is set to kick off at 3PM ET, and the good news is fans from the United States can tune in.
After two intense semi-finals of the renowned music competition this week, we're down to the final 20 contestants. They'll join the Big Five countries and reigning champions Switzerland on stage in Basel, vying for the coveted title. The official running order is out, and Norway's Kyle Alessandro is set to kick things off with his performance of Lighter.
Fans will have to hold their breath until near the end of the night to see bookies' favorite, KAJ of Sweden, who is 23rd in the lineup, reports the Mirror.
Of course, it wouldn't be Eurovision without a dash of controversy.
Despite ongoing calls for Israel's exclusion due to protests over the war in Gaza, and a letter from 70 past Eurovision stars urging contest chiefs to ban them amid the continuing Gaza conflict, Israel's Yuval Raphael has made it to the final thanks to a public vote.
The vocalist, a survivor of the tragic Nova music festival massacre, is set to be the fourth act to perform the uplifting ballad "New Day Will Rise," a song imbued with a message of hope.
There have been instances of bans in the past.
In 2021, Belarus was suspended due to a politically charged song, and Russia faced exclusion the following year amidst the Ukraine conflict.
In a surprising turn of events, Doctor Who actor Ncuti Gatwa has officially stepped down from his role as the United Kingdom's Eurovision 2025 spokesperson due to "unforeseen circumstances".
Pop star, disco kitchen queen, and radio presenter Sophie Ellis-Bextor will now step into his shoes.
Drama aside, music fans from all around the world plan to tune in for the final where the Eurovision 2025 winner will be declared.
