How to Watch the Welcome PrePartyES 2025?
Like last year, Eurovision-Spain will not livestream the Friday or Saturday shows. Instead, they’re raising the bar with improved production: more cameras, better lighting, and a top-tier technical team to make each performance shine. All content will be uploaded throughout the week on their official YouTube channel.
This year’s production includes an external broadcast unit and a total of six cameras, including a Spider Cam, Buggy Dolly, and a robotic camera, promising a truly cinematic viewing experience.
