Eurovision 2025 final live: What time does it start, favourites to win and how to watch – UK Times

Could this be the UK’s Eurovision comeback year? Remember Monday, the first girl group to represent the country since Precious in 1999, has generated a buzz of excitement amongst fans.

The trio, comprised of school friends Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull, and Charlotte Steele, impressed audiences in Basel, Switzerland, with their debut performance of What The Hell Just Happened?.

Their smooth harmonies have sparked hope that the UK could finally break its Eurovision losing streak.

The group will face stiff competition in Saturday’s grand final, including Eurovision win record contender KAJ from Sweden and Israeli singer Yuval Raphael.

The Eurovision 2025 grand final is taking place tonight in Basel, Switzerland, where contestants representing countries including the UK, Israel, France, Armenia and Finland will attempt to win over both the jury and the public.

Here’s the running order for tonight’s final:

Sweden’s 2025 Eurovision entry KAJ are one of the favourites to win this year’s contest, thanks to their quirky and infectious song “Bara Bada Bastu”.

KAJ are the first ever Finnish act to represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest, while “Bara Bada Bastu” is the first Swedish-language song the country has submitted since 1998.

The Vörå-formed trio comprises comedians and musicians Kevin Holmström, Axel Åhman and Jakob Norrgård, who have released seven albums and also written and performed two musicals at the Wasa Theatre in their native Finland.

Should they win, the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest contest would return to the country just two years after it was held in Malmö, following Loreen’s triumph.

The UK is pinning its Eurovision hopes this year on pop trio Remember Monday.
