Following the conclusion of the semi-finals, the running order for the final of Eurovision 2025 in Basel has been revealed.
Norway to open, Albania to close
The running order has been decided by a team from host broadcaster SRG SSR, and is overseen by the EBU. Between 2013 and 2024, the running order was decided by the team after each finalist drew which half they would perform in. Last year, a third category was added: the Producer’s choice. If any country drew that, then they could perform at any point in the show. The only country not decided by the production team is Switzerland, which, as the host country, drew its exact position

All About Eurovision 2025
Switzerland will be hosting the 69th edition of the competition following Nemo’s historic win at Eurovision 2024 in Malmö. A few weeks after their win, Reto Peritz, and Moritz Stadler were announced as the Executive Producers, with other roles revealed in July 2024.
Basel, Bern & Biel/Bienne, Geneva, and Zurich submitted bids to host next year’s competition, with Basel and Geneva being shortlisted as the final two cities. After the shortlist, it was decided that Basel will host Eurovision 2025, at St. Jakobshalle with the shows taking place on May 13, 15 and 17.
The visual identity for this year’s contest is “Unity Shapes Love”, which was developed by Art Director Artur Deyneuve, and was inspired by the Swiss tradition of direct democracy, with the message conveyed visually through the iconic Eurovision heart symbol.
