Here's What You Need to Know About Grand Final Voting
How Does "Eurovision Song Contest 2025 – Grand Final" Voting Work? The Eurovision audience has one very important job – voting. To make sure you're ready for when the big moment arrives, here's a rundown of what you need to know (beginning with an official video):
You can cast your vote (just not for your own country) by phone, SMS or the Eurovision Song Contest app:
- The app is available on iOS, Android, and Windows devices, and it also offers live updates, your own personal rankings board, and more. In addition, if you vote through the app, you'll receive a video message from your favourite artist.
- If you're in a participating country and planning to vote on the phone or through SMS, the numbers you need will be on the screen during the broadcasts and at www.esc.vote – (though once the lines are closed, they're closed).
If your country isn't competing in Eurovision (yet), we still need you. You can vote for your favourite on the Eurovision app or on the Eurovision Song Contest voting hub.
How Do Participating Countries Vote for the "Eurovision Song Contest 2025 – Grand Final"? For countries participating in Eurovision, voting will open just before the first song is performed. It will stay open right through the performances, and for approximately 40 minutes after the last song – and you can vote up to 20 times.
How Do Participating Countries Vote for the "Eurovision Song Contest 2025 – Grand Final"? The voting window for viewers in non-participating countries will open online at approximately midnight on the day of the Grand Final and close briefly when the live show begins.
