May 17th 2025.
Who will you be voting for in the Eurovision Song Contest tonight? The United Kingdom will be represented by the homespun pop group Remember Monday, among 16 finalists in a highly competitive event. The UK's coverage will be hosted by Graham Norton, who will be live from the host country of Basel, Switzerland. Scott Mills and Rylan Clark will also be hosting live on BBC Radio 2.
By the end of the weekend, we will know who will be crowned the winner of the show and will receive the coveted microphone trophy. The winning act will also have the opportunity to host the Eurovision Song Contest in 2026. This year, the favorites to win are Sweden's Kaj, who impressed in the semi-finals with their coordinated dance number, "Bara Bada Bastu". According to bookies, they have a 42% chance of success, with Austria and France following close behind with a 21% and 9% chance, respectively.
But how can you vote for your favorite Eurovision act once you've heard all the songs? Here's a guide on how to cast your vote in the Eurovision 2025 final. Voting will open just before the first song begins and will remain open throughout the evening and for 40 minutes after the final performance. In addition to the professional jury vote, which counts for almost half of the final score, viewers can also vote for their favorite song.
For the first time, UK viewers can use the official Eurovision app to vote. Simply download the app from your device's app store and use it to vote for your favorite acts during the show. As before, fans can also vote by dialing a Mobile Short Dial Code from UK mobiles and landlines. The code will be displayed on screen when your favorite act performs. Unfortunately, you cannot vote for the act representing your own country, so if you try to vote for Remember Monday, it will not count.
The results will be determined by a combination of the jury votes and the televote results from each country, using a points system. The country with the highest points total will be declared the winner, and in the event of a tie, the act with the most points from the public vote will take the trophy.
But how much does it cost to vote in Eurovision? It costs 15p per call from a mobile phone, and if you call from a landline, you will be charged 15p plus your network access charge. Even if you use the app to vote, you will still be charged 15p as it will take you to the MSDC to cast your vote. Please note that there is no text or website voting available in the UK at this time.
Don't forget to tune in to the Eurovision Grand Final on Saturday, May 17 at 8pm on BBC One and iPlayer. And don't forget to share your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below. Happy voting!
