Eurovision 2025 Grand Final: Full Running Order Revealed!

The European Broadcasting Union has officially revealed the running order for the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, set to take place this Saturday, May 17, at the St. Jakobshalle in Basel, Switzerland.

Published in the early hours of Friday morning, the announcement finalizes the performance positions of the 26 competing entries that will take to the stage, all hoping to claim the iconic crystal microphone.

The Grand Final running order was determined by the producers based on the results of the two semi-finals and the draw that allocated countries into the first or second half of the show. The Big Five countries and host nation Switzerland, all pre-qualified, were also placed in the line-up following these draws.

In recent editions, including 2024, producers have followed a hybrid system: six countries are drawn into each half of the show, while the remaining 13 slots are assigned under the “Producer’s Choice” method, allowing flexibility to craft a more dynamic and diverse TV experience. Technical requirements and show flow are also considered.

Let’s take a look at the official Eurovision 2025 Grand Final running order:

2	Luxembourg	Laura Thorn	“La Poupée Monte Le Son”

What does the running order mean for the artists?

Historically, later positions in the running order have often translated into stronger televote performance, although Eurovision is full of surprises. Standout positions like the opening and closing slots also come with high visibility and impact.

Interestingly, position #6, occupied this year by Spain’s Melody with “ESA DIVA”, has seen varied results in the past — occasionally producing winners, often delivering solid jury results.
