The Eurovision Song Contest is Europe's (and the world's) biggest live music event, with over 160 million viewers tuning in annually. Held each May, it features competing songs from dozens of countries across Europe and beyond, with a combination of public and jury voting.
The Eurovision 2027 Grand Final is estimated for Saturday, May 15. The exact date depends on the host country.
Any member country of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) can participate, including non-European countries like Australia, Israel and Armenia.
Each country awards points through a combination of national jury votes and public televote. 12 points goes to the favourite (douze points!).
