The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 is set to be the 69th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR), the contest will be held in either Basel or Geneva, Switzerland, following the country's victory at the 2024 contest with the song "The Code" by Nemo.[3] This will be the third time that Switzerland has hosted the contest, having done so for the inaugural contest in 1956 and the 1989 contest, held in Lugano and Lausanne respectively.
Location
Bidding phase
After Switzerland's win in the 2024 contest, the local authorities of Geneva expressed interest in hosting the 2025 edition at Palexpo and submitted a formal application.[4][5] On the same day, the president of the Basel-Stadt government, Conradin Cramer, also expressed interest in Basel hosting the 2025 event.[6] On 12 May, Olma Hall in St. Gallen was proposed as a potential venue.[7][8] On 13 May, Lugano, which was the host city in 1956, ruled out a bid to host in 2025, while the president of Bern's cantonal government Philippe Müller expressed his reluctance to host the contest in the de facto Swiss capital, citing "a rise in antisemitism" in the event.[9][10] This was publicly disputed by the cantonal Bernese government on 15 May as the council congratulated Nemo and announced its support in organising the contest in Bern.[11] Meanwhile, Zurich's city council was reported to have held a "high priority" meeting to discuss a bid.[12][13] On 14 May, Lausanne, which hosted the 1989 contest, ruled out a bid to host in 2025, citing a lack of infrastructure.[14] On 15 May, Biel/Bienne, Nemo's hometown, declared its interest to be associated with and co-host the event.[15] On 17 May, the local government of Fribourg stated that it was examining a potential bid.[16] On 5 June, the Basel-Stadt government confirmed that it would bid, proposing St. Jakobshalle and St. Jakob-Park as possible venues.[17] On 6 June, Biel/Bienne and Bern's municipalities announced a joint bid.[18][19] On 12 June, St. Gallen announced that it would not submit a bid due to not meeting the requirements to host the event.[20]
The host broadcaster SRG SSR launched the bidding process in the week of 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.[21][22] Representatives from the host broadcaster visited the four bidding cities in early July,[23][24] and on 19 July, Basel and Geneva were shortlisted.[25] The selected host city will be revealed on 30 August.[26]

Other countries
Active EBU members
- Czechia – On 17 May 2024, the Czech assistant head of press revealed that a decision on Czech participation in 2025 was made on 10 May, and that it would be ratified and announced after August.[70][71] Czechia failed to qualify from the second semi-final in 2024 on 9 May.
- Montenegro – In August 2024, Montenegrin broadcaster RTCG published a document confirming that a new national final, Montesong 2024, will be organised to select an entry for the 2025 contest.[72] A formal announcement regarding Montenegrin participation in 2025 is pending.
- Netherlands – On 6 June 2024, Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS stated that its participation in 2025 would depend on "structural adjustments" to the organisation of the contest, following the controversies of the 2024 edition, including the disqualification of that year's Dutch entrant, Joost Klein, from the final.[73] A decision is expected to be made in September, but the broadcaster additionally commented that the chances of it participating in 2025 are small.[74]
- Slovenia – On 9 March 2024, Mario Galunič , 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 from 2025 until 2028.[75][76] In 2023 and 2024, the broadcaster selected its entries internally, despite originally intending to organise a national final in both years.
Active EBU member broadcasters in Andorra,[77] Bosnia and Herzegovina,[78] and Slovakia[79] have so far confirmed non-participation prior to the announcement of the participants list by the EBU.
Non-EBU members
- Kosovo – On 29 October 2023, in the wake of the first edition of Festivali i Këngës në RTK, the intended Kosovan national selection event for Eurovision, the CEO of Kosovan broadcaster RTK, Besnik Boletini, reaffirmed the country's continued efforts to be included in the contest as early as 2025. [80] On 6 June 2024, the broadcaster's general director Shkumbin Ahmetxhekaj sent a formal letter to the EBU requesting an invitation to participate in Eurovision 2025.[81][82] On 7 August 2024, RTK revealed that their request has been denied by the EBU.[83]
- Liechtenstein – In May 2024, the Liechtensteiner Vaterland newspaper reported that the country's national radio broadcaster, Radio Liechtenstein, was in the process of seeking membership in the EBU with the aim of making a debut in the Eurovision Song Contest.[84][85]
Production
The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 will be produced by the Swiss national broadcaster Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR). The core team will consist of Reto Peritz and Moritz Stadler as executive producers,[86] and Yves Schifferle as head of show. Reprising their roles from the previous edition are Christer Björkman as head of contest and Tobias Åberg as head of production, 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.[87][88]
The contest's organisation will be restructured for 2025; this was announced by the EBU on 1 July 2024, following a review into the controversies of the 2024 contest.[89] The position of the executive supervisor, held by Martin Österdahl since the 2021 edition, will be renamed as show supervisor, and two new positions were created: the ESC director and the head of brand and commercial. The ESC director will oversee the work of the show supervisor and the head of brand and commercial.[90][91]
