Eurovision 2025 live updates as excitement builds ahead of grand final

Welcome, bienvenue and croeso!

Today marks the much-anticipated grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, an event that many have eagerly awaited since last year's contest in Malmö. This year's spectacle is set to unfold live in Basel, thanks to Nemo's triumphant performance for Switzerland in the 2024 competition.

We will see all of the acts take to the stage, each hoping to secure a victory for their home country. However, whoever wins will come after what seems like an endless process of voting and enduring the familiar disappointment of the UK receiving nil points from other nations. Hopefully though, this year's UK entry, Remember Monday, will fare better.

All 26 acts are waiting patiently in the green room, ready to do their countries proud. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter.
