About Eurovision 2027 Grand Final
The Eurovision Song Contest returns in May 2027, with the grand final traditionally held on the third Saturday of the month — the date above is the expected timing and will be updated once the EBU confirms the host city and exact schedule.
Eurovision is the world's biggest live music event: around 37 countries compete, two semi-finals thin the field on the Tuesday and Thursday, and the Saturday grand final draws over 160 million viewers — more than the Super Bowl. The winner's country earns the right to host the following year, which is why the 2027 venue depends on the 2026 result.
The contest has launched ABBA, Céline Dion and Måneskin, and its blend of pop spectacle, national pride and gleeful eccentricity is unmatched — wind machines, key changes and the agonizing "douze points" voting sequence where juries and the public split the scores. Sweden and Ireland lead the all-time winners' table with seven victories each.
