The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 is set to be the 69th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It will be organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the national broadcaster of the designated host country, expected to coincide with the winning country of the 2024 edition. The contest is expected to take place in May 2025.

Provisional list of participating countries

Further information: List of countries in the Eurovision Song Contest

Eligibility for participation in the Eurovision Song Contest requires a national broadcaster with active EBU membership that would be able to broadcast the contest via the Eurovision network. The EBU issues an invitation to participate in the contest to all active members.

Countries that are a part of the "Big Five" and the host country of the 2025 edition are expected to be automatically allocated a place in the final of the contest, whilst all other countries will be placed in one of the two semi-finals.

As of April 2024, the following countries have confirmed their intention to take part in the contest:

Other countries

EBU members

  •  Croatia – During a Reddit Ask Me Anything in April 2024, the Mayor of Zagreb Tomislav Tomašević stated that Zagreb is ready to host Eurovision in 2025 if Croatia is to win the contest in 2024, and that Zagreb Arena is already booked for the event.[12]
  •  France – On 27 November 2023, during the winner's press conference of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023, deputy director general of France Télévisions Stéphane Sitbon-Gomez announced the broadcaster's intention to win the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in order to host the 2025 edition.[13]
  •  Ireland – In January 2024, Michael Kealy, the head of the Irish delegation in the contest, expressed his hopes that in 2025 RTÉ will be able to produce a national final format independent from The Late Late Show, plans for which were halted in 2023 following a financial scandal.[14]
  •  Montenegro – On 5 January 2024, Montenegro's national broadcaster RTCG published a report from a public debate held on 4 December 2023 concerning their production plans for 2024. In the report, the broadcaster states that it "plans on organising a music festival to promote Montenegrin artists and authors, and which would (depending on the budget) be used as a way to select the representative for Eurovision 2025".[15][16] Montenegro last took part in 2022.
  •  Slovakia – Following a restructuring of its financing model in 2023, Slovak broadcaster RTVS was considering a return to the contest in 2025 and was actively working to secure the funding needed to participate.[17][18][19] However, in April 2024, the head of marketing communication at RTVS, Zuzana Vicelová, stated that the country would not compete in 2025 due to budget cuts.[20] Slovakia last took part in 2012.
  •  Slovenia – On 9 March 2024, Mario Galunič [sl], editor at RTVSLO, drafted a document, with one of the points being a plan to return to selecting Slovene entries for Eurovision through the national final EMA [es; sl] from 2025 until 2028.[21] In 2023 and 2024, the broadcaster selected its entries internally, despite originally intending to organise EMA in 2024.
  •   Switzerland – In early April 2024, commenting on Switzerland ranking first in the betting odds for the 2024 contest, Swiss head of delegation Yves Schifferle declared that SRG SSR was already holding discussions with previous host countries to assess a potential hosting in 2025 in case of victory.[22]

Non-EBU members

  •  Kosovo – On 29 October 2023, in the wake of the first edition of Festivali i Këngës, the intended Kosovan national selection event for Eurovision, the CEO of Kosovan broadcaster RTK, Besnik Boletini, reaffirmed the country's continued efforts in order to be included in the contest as early as 2025.[23] A vote on the draft of Kosovo's application to the Council of Europe took place on 16 April 2024, which passed. Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe will decide on Kosovo's membership in May 2024.[24] Membership in the Council of Europe would enable Kosovo to join the EBU and compete in the contest by 2025.[25][26]

Notes

  1. ^ On 6 September 2023, it was reported that NDR, which has been responsible for Germany's Eurovision participations since 1996, was considering handing over responsibility to a different member of the ARD network in 2025, with MDR being the most likely candidate.[3] According to reports, an official agreement for MDR to be in charge of the German selection from 2025 was finalised by 22 January 2024.[4]
