About/Overview. The 69th Eurovision Song Contest took place St. Jakobshalle in Basel, Switzerland, with a stage design inspired by Swiss mountain ranges and the nation’s linguistic diversity.
Basel 2025 featured broadcasters from 37 countries, the same number as the previous two Contests, though with one returnee (Montenegro) and one departure (Moldova).
Austria won with the song Wasted Love, by the young countertenor JJ. The performance was given an atmospheric staging, presented in black and white, and directed by Sergio Jaén. The Spanish artistic director had been a newcomer to the Eurovision world just one year earlier at Malmö 2024, where he created the staging for Doomsday Blue by Ireland’s Bambie Thug. But the performance had made such an impression on viewers, and on the Contest in general, that Jaén was invited back to stage three performances for Basel 2025 by broadcasters from Cyprus, Finland and the winning delegation Austria.
Beyond the Grand Final came big streaming hits for Espresso Macchiato by Tommy Cash (Estonia) and Bara Bada Bastu by KAJ (Sweden). But the biggest hit of all came from a somewhat surprising source: 21st placed Deslocado by NAPA. The Portuguese anthem of longing for home became a big viral hit across social media and streaming, pulling in the biggest numbers of all 37 Basel 2025 entries.
The interval and opening acts featured plenty of nods to Switzerland’s Eurovision legacy. Highlights included a special performance of Switzerland’s 1988 winner Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi by Céline Dion (and a pre-recorded message from the icon herself), given by four of Malmö 2024’s artists; Jerry Heil, iolanda, Marina Satti and Silverster Belt. And we had the First Semi-Final open with a troupe of dancers, yodelers and alphorn players performing Swiss-style versions of four Eurovision classics; Arcade, Tattoo, The Code and Waterloo.
Months ahead of the event, Swiss broadcaster SRG SSR revealed a mascot for the 2025 Contest, which was a first for Eurovision since 1992’s ‘Eurobird’. Basel 2025’s ‘Lumo’ was designed by Lynn Brunner of the Basel Academy of Art and Design, taking the form of a purple, orange and yellow anthropomorphic heart with curly ginger hair.
The Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 took place in St. Jakobshalle, Basel, on Saturday 17 May with Semi-Finals on Tuesday 13 and Thursday 15 May, after it was selected by Host Broadcaster SRG SSR and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to host the 69th edition of the Contest.
After a competitive selection process that saw a number of potential Host Cities narrow down to Basel and Geneva, Switzerland’s third-most-populous city won out, and got to host the 69th Eurovision Song Contest.
The bid process examined facilities at the venue, local infrastructure and the ability to accommodate thousands of visiting delegations, crew, fans and journalists from around the world, amongst other criteria.
United By Music. Following its hugely successful use by the BBC, it was agreed by SVT and the Eurovision Song Contest Reference Group (the Contest governing board), to use United By Music as the official slogan for the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden, as well.
Furthermore, it was decided to keep the slogan for all successive events as part of the Contest’s global brand strategy.
37 Participants. 37 public service broadcasters took part at Basel 2025.
RTCG of Montenegro returned to the competition after last competing in 2022. And 36 of the 37 countries that took part at Malmö 2024 participated once again in May 2025.

You can listen to all 37 competing entries right here.
The Hosts. Hazel Brugger, Michelle Hunziker and Sandra Studer presented the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 when it came to us from Basel. Hazel Brugger, Sandra Studer and Michelle Hunziker will present the Grand Final, while Hazel Brugger and Sandra Studer will also host the First Semi-Final and the Second Semi-Final.
According to Swiss broadcaster SRG SSR, the choice of the host trio for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 symbolises the values that define Switzerland: openness, diversity, multilingualism and a sense of togetherness. The trio not only aimed to celebrate Europe’s diversity, but also to bring the true values and spirit of Switzerland to the stage – a country known for its openness, integration and community.
Two more hosts, Mélanie Freymond and Sven Epiney, presented the pre-show party and public viewing in the Arena plus, the repurposed St. Jakob-Park football stadium. They were also live on air during the Grand Final to announce the Swiss points during the eagerly-anticipated voting segment.
Visual and Audio Brand Identity. The visual and audio brand identity for the 69th Eurovision Song Contest was developed by Art Director Artur Deyneuve. His aim was to create a design that made people feel heard and valued. Inspired by the Swiss tradition of direct democracy, which revolves around listening and dialogue, Deyneuve chose ‘listening’ as the central guiding theme of the whole branding concept, calling it ‘Unity Shapes Love’.
This message was also conveyed visually through the iconic Eurovision heart symbol, which stands for dialogue, unity and the unifying power of music. The pulsating Eurovision hearts have therefore become a core element of the design, representing the millions of people unified by the Eurovision Song Contest, to listen and celebrate together.
Welcome Home. Anyone tuning in to all three of the Basel 2025 Live Shows will have spotted that each one had its own unique story running through the evening’s broadcast.
SRG SSR implemented three celebratory themes into the two Semi-Finals and the Grand Final. The broadcaster reminded viewers that Eurovision was returning to its origins, right back to when the first Contest came to us from Switzerland in 1956.
To help frame this picture, each of the Live Shows told its own story, united by the motto ‘Welcome Home’.
- First Semi-Final, 13 May: Where It All Began – an homage to the Eurovision Song Contest’s birthplace, Switzerland
- Second Semi-Final, 15 May: Eurovision fans – a big party for anyone who’s ever enjoyed the Eurovision Song Contest
- Grand Final, 17 May: Let’s Celebrate a New Winner – 26 countries competed for the coveted glass trophy and the whole of Europe and beyond were able to join in on the excitement and celebrations.
The Basel 2025 stage. The stage design for the 69th Eurovision Song Contest was inspired by Switzerland’s mountains and diversity.
Florian Wieder, the Production Designer with Swiss roots, oversaw the Eurovision stage design for the eighth time. For the event at the St. Jakobshalle in Basel, Florian revealed that he had taken inspiration from the Swiss mountains and the country’s linguistic diversity: “Our goal was to create a revolutionary stage concept – a holistic experience that we’ve never seen before at Eurovision. Thanks to the immersive stage layout, the audience will get to be part of Eurovision like never before.”
The Winner. Austria’s JJ won the 69th Eurovision Song Contest in Basel with the song Wasted Love, securing Austria’s first Eurovision Song Contest win since 2014.
The artist won the Contest with a points tally of 436. In second place was Israeli broadcaster Kan’s song New Day Will Rise, performed by Yuval Raphael, which earned 357 points. Third place went to Tommy Cash for Estonian broadcaster ERR, whose song Espresso Macchiato got given 356 points.

The other 5 broadcasters from France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom were pre-qualified for the Grand Final, along with host broadcaster SRG SSR from Switzerland who were drawn to perform 19th in the running order.
You can listen to all 37 competing entries right here.
The Hosts. Hazel Brugger, Michelle Hunziker and Sandra Studer presented the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 when it came to us from Basel. Hazel Brugger, Sandra Studer and Michelle Hunziker will present the Grand Final, while Hazel Brugger and Sandra Studer will also host the First Semi-Final and the Second Semi-Final.
According to Swiss broadcaster SRG SSR, the choice of the host trio for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 symbolises the values that define Switzerland: openness, diversity, multilingualism and a sense of togetherness. The trio not only aimed to celebrate Europe’s diversity, but also to bring the true values and spirit of Switzerland to the stage – a country known for its openness, integration and community.
Two more hosts, Mélanie Freymond and Sven Epiney, presented the pre-show party and public viewing in the Arena plus, the repurposed St. Jakob-Park football stadium. They were also live on air during the Grand Final to announce the Swiss points during the eagerly-anticipated voting segment.
Visual and Audio Brand Identity. The visual and audio brand identity for the 69th Eurovision Song Contest was developed by Art Director Artur Deyneuve. His aim was to create a design that made people feel heard and valued. Inspired by the Swiss tradition of direct democracy, which revolves around listening and dialogue, Deyneuve chose ‘listening’ as the central guiding theme of the whole branding concept, calling it ‘Unity Shapes Love’.
This message was also conveyed visually through the iconic Eurovision heart symbol, which stands for dialogue, unity and the unifying power of music. The pulsating Eurovision hearts have therefore become a core element of the design, representing the millions of people unified by the Eurovision Song Contest, to listen and celebrate together.
Welcome Home. Anyone tuning in to all three of the Basel 2025 Live Shows will have spotted that each one had its own unique story running through the evening’s broadcast.
SRG SSR implemented three celebratory themes into the two Semi-Finals and the Grand Final. The broadcaster reminded viewers that Eurovision was returning to its origins, right back to when the first Contest came to us from Switzerland in 1956.
To help frame this picture, each of the Live Shows told its own story, united by the motto ‘Welcome Home’.
- First Semi-Final, 13 May: Where It All Began – an homage to the Eurovision Song Contest’s birthplace, Switzerland
- Second Semi-Final, 15 May: Eurovision fans – a big party for anyone who’s ever enjoyed the Eurovision Song Contest
- Grand Final, 17 May: Let’s Celebrate a New Winner – 26 countries competed for the coveted glass trophy and the whole of Europe and beyond were able to join in on the excitement and celebrations.
The Basel 2025 stage. The stage design for the 69th Eurovision Song Contest was inspired by Switzerland’s mountains and diversity.
Florian Wieder, the Production Designer with Swiss roots, oversaw the Eurovision stage design for the eighth time. For the event at the St. Jakobshalle in Basel, Florian revealed that he had taken inspiration from the Swiss mountains and the country’s linguistic diversity: “Our goal was to create a revolutionary stage concept – a holistic experience that we’ve never seen before at Eurovision. Thanks to the immersive stage layout, the audience will get to be part of Eurovision like never before.”
The Winner. Austria’s JJ won the 69th Eurovision Song Contest in Basel with the song Wasted Love, securing Austria’s first Eurovision Song Contest win since 2014.
The artist won the Contest with a points tally of 436. In second place was Israeli broadcaster Kan’s song New Day Will Rise, performed by Yuval Raphael, which earned 357 points. Third place went to Tommy Cash for Estonian broadcaster ERR, whose song Espresso Macchiato got given 356 points.

The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 was the 69th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Basel, Switzerland, following the country’s victory at the 2024 contest with the song “The Code” by Nemo. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR), the contest was held at St. Jakobshalle, and consisted of two semi-finals on 13 and 15 May, and a final on 17 May 2025. The three live shows were presented by Hazel Brugger and Sandra Studer, with Michelle Hunziker joining for the final.
Broadcasters from thirty-seven countries participated in the contest, the same number as the previous two editions. Montenegro returned after a two-year absence, while Moldova, which had originally planned to participate, later withdrew due to economic reasons and the quality of the songs competing in its national selection. Israel’s participation continued to cause controversy in the context of the Gaza war, with some participating broadcasters calling for a discussion on the issue.
The winner was Austria with the song “Wasted Love”, performed by JJ and written by him along with Teodora Špirić and Thomas Thurner. Austria won the combined vote and jury vote, and placed fourth in the televote. Israel won the televote and finished second overall, with Estonia, Sweden, and Italy completing the top five. The EBU reported that the contest had a television audience of 166 million viewers in 37 European markets, an increase of three million viewers from the previous edition.

St. Jakobshalle, Basel – host venue of the 2025 contest
Location. The 2025 contest took place in Basel, Switzerland, following the country’s victory at the 2024 contest with the song “The Code”, performed by Nemo. It was the third time that Switzerland had hosted the contest, having previously done so for the inaugural contest in 1956 and the 1989 contest, held in Lugano and Lausanne respectively. The selected venue for the contest was the 12,400-seat St. Jakobshalle, which serves as a venue for indoor sports and concert events. The arena is located in the municipality of Münchenstein in Basel-Landschaft, right by the border with Basel-Stadt.
The Messe and Congress Center Basel complex hosted several events related to the contest. It was the location of the Eurovision Village, which hosted performances by contest participants and local artists as well as screenings of the live shows for the general public; and the EuroClub, which organised the official after-parties and private performances by contest participants. The “Turquoise Carpet” event on 11 May 2025 began at the Basel Town Hall and ran through the Middle Bridge, with the contestants and their delegations being presented before accredited press and fans, before ending at Messe Basel, where the opening ceremony was held. The St. Jakob-Park stadium held a screening of the final along with performances by four previous Eurovision entrants,[b] with entry charged for the public; the stadium was also featured on the live broadcast and was referred to as “Arena Plus” for the occasion. The Eurovision Street was located at Steinenvorstadt.
Bidding phase. After Switzerland’s win in the 2024 contest, the local authorities of Geneva expressed their interest in hosting the 2025 edition at Palexpo and submitted a formal application. On the same day, the president of the Basel-Stadt government, Conradin Cramer, also expressed interest in Basel hosting the 2025 event. On 12 May, Olma Hall in St. Gallen was proposed as a potential venue.
On 13 May, Lugano, which hosted the inaugural contest in 1956, ruled out a bid to host in 2025. The president of Bern’s cantonal government Philippe Müller expressed his reluctance to host the contest in the de facto Swiss capital, but the cantonal government itself later announced its support in organising the event in Bern. Meanwhile, Zurich’s city council held a “high priority” meeting to discuss a bid. On 14 May, Lausanne, which hosted the 1989 contest, ruled out a bid to host in 2025, citing a lack of infrastructure. On 15 May, Biel/Bienne declared its interest to be associated with and co-host the event. On 17 May, the local government of Fribourg stated that it was examining a potential bid. On 5 June, the Basel-Stadt government confirmed that it would bid, proposing St. Jakobshalle and St. Jakob-Park as possible venues. On 6 June, Biel/Bienne and Bern’s municipalities announced a joint bid. On 12 June, St. Gallen announced that it would not submit a bid due to not meeting the requirements to host the event.
The host broadcaster, the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR), launched the bidding process on 27 May 2024, by issuing a list of requirements for interested cities. Basel, Bern, Geneva, and Zurich officially declared their interest and finalised their bids on 28 June. Representatives from the host broadcaster visited the four bidding cities in early July, and shortlisted Basel and Geneva on 19 July. On 30 August, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and SRG SSR announced Basel as the host city, with St. Jakobshalle as the chosen venue. A referendum was held in November 2024 within the Basel-Stadt canton to approve the expenditure for organising the contest, which passed with the support of 66.6% of voters.

Participating countries. Eligibility for participation in the Eurovision Song Contest requires a national broadcaster with an EBU membership that is capable of receiving the contest via the Eurovision network and broadcasting it live nationwide. The EBU issues invitations to participate in the contest to all members.
On 12 December 2024, the EBU initially announced that broadcasters from 38 countries would participate in the 2025 contest, including Montenegro, returning after a two-year absence. On 22 January 2025, Moldova announced its withdrawal, citing economic reasons and the quality of its national final, thereby reducing the number of participating countries to 37.
The contest featured two returning artists for the same country: Justyna Steczkowska had previously represented Poland in 1995, and Nina Žižić had appeared with Who See for Montenegro in 2013. Steczkowska’s return 30 years after her first appearance broke the record for the longest gap between two participations by the same artist, which was previously held by Anna Vissi with a gap of 24 years between her entries for Cyprus in 1982 and Greece in 2006.

Other countries. The EBU member broadcasters in Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Slovakia confirmed non-participation prior to the announcement of the participants list by the EBU. Macedonian broadcaster MRT discussed a potential return of the country to the contest, in response to an email from Eurovision fans urging the broadcaster to do so in October 2024; North Macedonia ultimately did not appear on the final list of participants for 2025. Kosovar broadcaster RTK’s general director Shkumbin Ahmetxhekaj sent a formal letter to the EBU in June 2024, requesting an invitation for Kosovo to debut in the contest in 2025; this was rejected by the EBU’s General Assembly in July 2024.
Production and format. The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 was produced by the Swiss national broadcaster SRG SSR. The core team consisted of Reto Peritz and Moritz Stadler as executive producers, and Yves Schifferle as head of show. Repeating their function from the previous edition were Christer Björkman as head of contest, Tobias Åberg as head of production, and Robin Hofwander and Fredrik Bäcklund as multi-camera directors, with other production personnel including Nadja Burkhardt-Tracol as head of event, Manfred Winz as head of finance, Aurore Chatard as head of security, and Kevin Stuber as head of legal. The theme art and background music’s creation are overseen by art director Artur Deyneuve.
The contest’s organisation was restructured for 2025; this was announced by the EBU on 1 July 2024, following a review into the controversies of the 2024 contest. Two new positions were created: the ESC director and the commercial director, filled by Martin Green (managing director of the 2023 contest) and Jurian van der Meer, respectively; Green would oversee the work of executive supervisor Martin Österdahl and Van der Meer. In response to the circumstances that led to the disqualification of the 2024 Dutch entrant Joost Klein from that year’s final, from 2025 onwards, no behind-the-scenes filming of the artists would be permitted without prior approval from their delegations’ head of press. A set of conduct rules and duty of care guidelines was codified and made mandatory for all personnel working in the event.
The preliminary budget was estimated to be at CHF 61 million (€65.2 million), with the Executive Council of Basel-Stadt contributing CHF 35 million (€37.3 million), SRG SSR contributing CHF 20 million (€21.4 million), and the EBU contributing CHF 6 million (€6.4 million).
Visual, sound, and stage design. On 16 December 2024, SRG SSR unveiled the theme art and stage design for the 2025 contest. The theme art, designed by the London-based agency Not Wieden+Kennedy and named “Unity Shapes Love”, was built on variably-coloured miniatures of the “Eurovision heart” being arranged to emulate the halftone pixelation effect, symbolising millions of people unified by the Eurovision Song Contest, to listen and celebrate together
. The theme music, produced by MassiveMusic and titled “See You Radiate”, featured nods to Swiss traditional music and is adaptable for future editions. Devised for the second year in a row by German production designer Florian Wieder, who had previously designed the sets of seven previous contests, the stage was inspired by Switzerland’s mountains and linguistic diversity, highlighted by a central extension that extends into the standing audience area and surrounded by an LED arch.
On 26 February 2025, SRG SSR unveiled a mascot for the 2025 contest, in a first for the event since 1992. Named “Lumo” and designed by Lynn Brunner of the Basel Academy of Art and Design, it is an anthropomorphic heart shape with orange curly hair.
Postcards. The “postcards” were short video introductions shown on television while the stage is being prepared for the next entry. Filmed between January and April 2025 and directed by Luca Zurfluh of Zurich-based production company Dynamic Frame, the postcards featured the competing artists taking part in local activities across Switzerland. The following locations were used for each participating country:

Sandra Studer and Hazel Brugger presented all shows of the 2025 contest, with Michelle Hunziker joining for the final.
Presenters. The Swiss comedian Hazel Brugger and singer Sandra Studer – who represented Switzerland in 1991 – were announced as the presenters of the 2025 contest on 20 January 2025, and they hosted all three shows of the event; Swiss-Italian television presenter Michelle Hunziker joined them for the final. Jan van Ditzhuijzen and Tanja Dankner provided commentary for the “Turquoise Carpet” and opening ceremony events, with Joël von Mutzenbecher welcoming the competing artists at the start of the carpet and Odette Hella’Grand interviewing them at the end of the route. The public screening of the final at St. Jakob-Park was hosted by Sven Epiney and Mélanie Freymond, both of whom also announced the points of the Swiss jury from the stadium. Epiney additionally moderated the winner’s press conference.

Results of the semi-final allocation draw: Blue – Participating countries in the first semi-final; Blue Light – Pre-qualified for the final but also voting in the first semi-final; Orange – Participating countries in the second semi-final; Orange Light – Pre-qualified for the final but also voting in the second semi-final
Semi-final allocation draw. The draw to determine the participating countries’ semi-finals took place on 28 January 2025 at 12:30 CET, at the auditorium of the Kunstmuseum Basel. The thirty-one semi-finalists were divided over five pots, based on historical voting patterns, with the purpose of reducing the chance of bloc voting and increasing suspense in the semi-finals. The draw also determined which semi-final each of the six automatic qualifiers – host country Switzerland and “Big Five” countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) – would vote in, be required to broadcast, and perform its entry in a non-competitive capacity. The ceremony was hosted by Jennifer Bosshard and Jan van Ditzhuijzen, and included the symbolic transfer of duties from Carina Nilsson, the president of previous host city Malmö’s council, to Conradin Cramer, the president of the Basel-Stadt government. The host city insignia, which had traditionally been used since 2007, was replaced by a dress gifted by Nilsson to Cramer, the first “friendship gift” that would replace the host city insignia from this year.

Flag policy. The flag policy was updated for 2025, with competing artists allowed to displaly their representative country’s flag in official capacities – including onstage, in the green room, Turquoise Carpet, and the Eurovision Village. On the other hand, the policy overturned a previous ban for the audience, allowing the display of any flag permitted under Swiss law, including pride flags, Palestinian flags, and the flag of Europe. While accepting the policy, Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS stated that it would push for changes for the following year’s contest; the broadcaster had earlier met with LGBTQ+ advocacy group COC Nederland, which called the ban on pride flags for competing artists “outrageously ridiculous”. Glenn Micallef, the European Union (EU)’s cultural commissioner, also criticised similar restrictions on displaying the EU flag for competing artists.

The opening act of the first semi-final featured a troupe of dancers, yodelers and alphorn players.
Contest overview. Changes to the process of revealing the semi-final qualifiers were implemented with this year’s edition. For the first nine qualifiers, countries would be called in sets of three via split-screen, with one progressing to the final at a time. The final qualifier would then be announced while the hosts are onscreen.
Semi-final 1. The first semi-final took place on 13 May 2025 at 21:00 CEST. Fifteen countries competed in the first semi-final. Those countries plus Italy, Spain and Switzerland, as well as non-participating countries under an aggregated “Rest of the World” vote, voted in this semi-final. The running order (R/O) was determined by the contest producers and was announced publicly on 27 March. In addition to the competing entries, Spain, Italy and Switzerland performed their entries during the show, appearing on stage after the entries from Estonia, Belgium and Croatia, respectively. Ukraine was awarded the most points in the semi-final, and qualified for the final alongside, in order of points total, Albania, the Netherlands, Sweden, Estonia, Iceland, Poland, Norway, Portugal, and San Marino. The countries that failed to reach the final were Cyprus, Croatia, Slovenia, Belgium, and Azerbaijan.
This semi-final was opened by a troupe of dancers, yodelers and alphorn players performing Swiss-style renditions of four previous winning songs: “Tattoo” (2023), “Arcade” (2019), “Waterloo” (1974), and “The Code” (2024). The interval acts included “Made in Switzerland”, a musical number performed by presenters Hazel Brugger and Sandra Studer which highlights and satirises Swiss stereotypes and inventions, written by Christian Knecht and Lukas Hobi, with an appearance by Petra Mede, who had previously hosted the contest in 2013, 2016, and 2024; and four former participants from 2024 – Greece’s Marina Satti, Ukraine’s Jerry Heil, Portugal’s Iolanda, and Lithuania’s Silvester Belt – performing the 1988 Swiss winning entry “Ne partez pas sans moi“, preceded by a pre-recorded message from the song’s original performer, Céline Dion. Jørgen Olsen, who won for Denmark in 2000 alongside his brother Niels Olsen, performed that year’s winning song “Fly on the Wings of Love” after the qualifiers were announced, with lyrical changes referencing the contest’s permanent slogan “United by Music”.

Final. The final took place on 17 May 2025 at 21:00 CEST and featured 26 competing countries. All 37 participating countries with jury and televote, as well as non-participating countries under an aggregated “Rest of the World” online vote, voted in the final. The running order (R/O) of the host nation was determined by a random draw on 17 March during the annual meeting of heads of the participating delegations. The running order for the remaining finalists was determined by the contest producers following the second semi-final.
Austria won the contest with the song “Wasted Love”, performed by JJ and written by him along with Teodora Špirić and Thomas Thurner. Austria won with 436 points, also winning the jury vote. It was the country’s third win in the contest, following prior victories in 1966 and 2014. Israel came second with 357 points and won the televote, with Estonia, Sweden, Italy, Greece, France, Albania, Ukraine, and Switzerland completing the top ten. Luxembourg, Denmark, Spain, Iceland, and San Marino occupied the bottom five positions.
The final was opened by Nemo performing their winning song in 2024, “The Code”, followed by the flag parade, introducing all twenty-six finalists, backed by the Top Secret Drum Corps. In a break between the competing songs, co-presenter Sandra Studer performed a snippet of her entry for Switzerland in 1991, “Canzone per te“, while co-presenter Michelle Hunziker performed a snippet of the Italian entry in 1958, “Nel blu, dipinto di blu“.

According to the EBU, in total 166 million people watched at least a minute of the television broadcasts, while the YouTube broadcasts culminatively garnered 19.9 million views over a seven-day period.

OGAE. OGAE, an organisation of over forty Eurovision Song Contest fan clubs across Europe and beyond, conducts an annual voting poll first held in 2002 as the Marcel Bezençon Fan Award. After all votes were cast, the top-ranked entry in the 2025 poll was Sweden’s “Bara bada bastu” performed by KAJ; the top five results are shown below.
| Country | Song | Artist | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| “Bara bada bastu“ | KAJ | 421 | |
| “Wasted Love” | JJ | 382 | |
| “C’est la vie“ | Claude | 278 | |
| “Ich komme“ | Erika Vikman | 253 | |
| “Serving” | Miriana Conte | 164 |
Reception.
Comercial impact. Following the 2025 contest, four entries entered the Billboard Global 200 chart dated 31 May 2025: Germany’s “Baller” at number 80, Estonia’s “Espresso Macchiato” at number 93, Sweden’s “Bara bada bastu” at number 123, and Austria’s winning entry “Wasted Love” at number 167. On the Billboard Global Excl. US chart also dated 31 May 2025, the four aforementioned entries entered at numbers 28, 33, 45, and 63, respectively, followed by Norway’s “Lighter” at number 172. Additionally, the “Made in Switzerland” interval act from the first semi-final was released as a single on 6 June 2025,[294] and peaked at number 16 on the Swiss Hitparade.
Controversies on Israeli participation. Due to the continuing Gaza war, Israel’s participation in the contest remained controversial, with calls for the exclusion of the country from the event. The Slovenian broadcaster RTVSLO submitted a demand for the EBU to exclude Israel, while Spanish broadcaster RTVE, Irish broadcaster RTÉ, Icelandic broadcaster RÚV, and Belgian broadcaster VRT called for a wider discussion among EBU members regarding Israel’s participation. The EBU committed to a discussion regarding Israel’s involvement “in due course”, but reiterated that it is “an association of public service broadcasters, not governments”, and that all EBU members are eligible to compete. 72 former Eurovision contestants signed a letter calling for Israel’s exclusion, including former winners Charlie McGettigan and Salvador Sobral; the previous edition’s winner Nemo and this edition’s winner JJ later publicly joined calls to exclude Israel.
During the introductory postcard preceding Israel’s performance in the second semi-final, RTVE’s commentators Tony Aguilar and Julia Varela mentioned the number of casualties of the war. Following a complaint filed by the Israeli broadcaster Kan, the EBU warned RTVE it would be fined if its commentators “mention the Gaza conflict again”. Ahead of the final, RTVE aired a message that read “When human rights are at stake, silence is not an option. Peace and justice for Palestine”. During the final, Israel’s performance was met with some booing by the audience; the Swiss host broadcaster SRG SSR replaced this in the television broadcast with pre-recorded applause.
Israel ultimately won the televote and finished in second place overall, prompting a number of participating broadcasters, including RTVE, VRT, RÚV, Belgium’s French-speaking RTBF, Finland’s Yle, Norway’s NRK, RTÉ, and the Netherlands’ AVROTROS and NPO, to call for a rework of the televoting system while also highlighting concerns over Israel’s participation. RTVE, VRT, and RTÉ additionally called for an independent audit on their countries’ televoting results; the Spanish and Belgian televote awarded 12 points to Israel, while the Irish televote awarded 10. Several parties alleged influence operations as a factor in Israel’s high televoting score; the Spanish newspaper El País pointed to mobilisation campaigns by the Israeli government and several European far-right affiliated media outlets. Some Belgian MPs also mentioned an influence campaign by Israeli authorities and questioned the country’s participation, while MPs from the Spanish left-wing alliance Sumar registered a proposal to demand a reform in the contest and the removal of Israel from it. Spanish prime minister Pedro Sánchez also called for Israel’s exclusion following the contest, saying that “double standards” were being applied by excluding Russia following its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, but not Israel due to its conduct in the Gaza war, which has been characterised as genocidal.
Eurovision News Spotlight, a fact-checking and open-source intelligence initiative by the EBU, published an investigation on 19 May 2025 which found evidence that the Israel Government Advertising Agency had conducted a cross-platform advertising campaign and utilised official state social media accounts to encourage public support for Israel’s entry in the contest, specifically providing instructions on how voters could cast all 20 of their allowed votes for Israel. The Israeli government had previously admitted to deploying the same strategy during the 2024 contest.
