The Eurovision Grand Final 2025 live stream will see the international musical extravaganza take to the stage in Basel, Switzerland. Below we have all the information on how to watch the Eurovision Grand Final 2025 from anywhere in the world, with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and FREE live streams.
Last year saw Swiss singer Nemo crack The Code to winning Eurovision – something that this year’s 26 finalists will all hope to do, including the host country’s Zoë Më. But it’s Sweden that’s hotly tipped to win for a record eighth time and the second time in three years after Loreen won again in 2023. Sung by trio KAJ, the sauna-themed Bara Bada Bastu is getting Eurovision fans hot under the collar.
Also expected to score well are Austria’s JJ, Finland’s Erika Vikman, France’s Louane, and the Netherlands’ Claude. While, not unlike last year, the main flashpoint of controversy is likely to be when Israel’s Yuval Raphael takes to the stage.
Here’s how to watch Eurovision Grand Final 2025 live stream for free wherever you are. We’ve also detailed all of this year’s acts and performance schedule further down the page.
