The Eurovision Semi-finals have concluded and we now look ahead to the Grand Final - here is everything you need to know if you plan to watch it.
The stage is set at St. Jakobshalle in Basel, where 26 acts from across the continent - and beyond - will battle it out for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 crown.
Following two dramatic semi-finals, the Grand Final lineup is complete, featuring 10 qualifiers from each semi, alongside the six pre-qualified nations: host country Switzerland and the “Big Five” (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom).
Each act will deliver a live performance of their original song in front of a global audience.
The winner is decided through a unique voting system combining national jury scores and public televotes from 37 participating countries, plus an additional “Rest of the World” vote.

How does Eurovision Final Voting work?
Eurovision's voting system combines national jury assessments and public televoting.
Each country's jury, comprising five music professionals, awards points based on criteria like composition and performance.
Simultaneously, viewers cast their votes via the Eurovision app, phone, or SMS, with each person allowed up to 20 votes, excluding their own country.
Non-participating countries contribute through an aggregated "Rest of the World" vote.
Points are allocated in two phases: jury votes are announced first, followed by a collective reveal of televote results, adding suspense to the final rankings.
The country with the highest combined score wins the contest.
There can be huge differences between the judges' and viewers' choices.
The UK's Sam Ryder won the jury vote in 2022, but finished in fifth place with the public. He came second overall.
