The big moment has arrived for Eurovision fans: tonight marks the first of two semi-finals for Eurovision 2025, and 15 countries—including Cyprus—will compete for a place in Saturday’s Grand Final.
Out of tonight’s semi-final, ten entries will qualify and move forward to the final round. Greece’s official entry, performed by Klavdia, will compete in the second semi-final, scheduled for Thursday.
However, Greece will still have a presence in tonight’s show. Marina Satti, along with Jerry Heil, Iolanda, and Silvester Belt, will perform “Ne partez pas sans moi”—the song that famously won the contest for Switzerland in 1988, performed by Céline Dion.
Both semi-finals and the Grand Final of Eurovision 2025 will begin at 22:00 (Greek time) and will be broadcast live on ERT1, with commentary by Maria Kozakou and Giorgos Kapoutzidis.
Countries competing in the first semi-final:
- Iceland
- Poland
- Slovenia
- Estonia
- Ukraine
- Sweden
- Portugal
- Norway
- Belgium
- Azerbaijan
- San Marino
- Albania
- Netherlands
- Croatia
- Cyprus
