Eurovision 2025: Running order for the Grand Final
The running order for the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 has been decided. Like the 11 previous years, the producer of the Eurovision Song Contest has decided the running order
The producer of this year's Eurovision, the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR), has decided the running order for the Grand Final at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. Over the last 11 years the shows' producers have decided the running order based on an allocation draw.
A draw took place shortly after Semi-final 1 and Semi-final 2. Here, half of the participants were distributed in the first or second half of the Grand Final. The other half was in the category "Producer Decides," meaning that the Swiss producer SRG SSR could freely decide where to put these countries in the running order.
Right after the 10 qualifiers from the second Semi-final were decided, the producers of the contest started laying the puzzle to ensure variety in the Grand Final.
It had already been decided via a draw that Switzerland will perform as song number 19 in the Grand Final.
