Kyiv • UNN
The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 will be held in Basel, Switzerland. The decision was made by the organizers of the contest, SRG SSR and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
The organizers of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 have decided on the venue for the show in the country that won this year's contest. Next year, the song show will be held in the third largest city in Switzerland, Basel, where the St. Jakobshalle arena will be prepared. This was reported on the official Eurovision website, UNN reports .
Details
It is noted that the Grand Final of the 69th Eurovision Song Contest 2025 will take place on May 17 in Basel, and the semifinals will be held on May 13 and 15. The host city was chosen jointly by the Swiss broadcaster SRG SSR and the European Broadcasting Union, which is the organizer of the contest.
The bidding process examined the site conditions, local infrastructure, and the city's ability to host thousands of delegations, crews, fans, and journalists from around the world.
The European Broadcasting Union is delighted that Basel has been chosen as the host city for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. The contest originated in Lugano, Switzerland, back in 1956, and it's great to bring it back to its home country after almost 70 years,

Following the contests in the Italian and French-speaking parts of the country in 1956 and 1989, we are also delighted to be bringing the Eurovision Song Contest to German-speaking Switzerland for the first time. Together with the broadcaster SRG SSR and the city of Basel, we will create an amazing celebration of music on the banks of the Rhine River that will be heard far beyond the stage,
