The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 is set to be the 69th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR), the contest will be held in Switzerland, following the country's victory at the 2024 contest with the song "The Code" by Nemo.[3] This will be the third time that Switzerland has hosted the contest, having done so for the inaugural contest in 1956 and the 1989 contest, held in Lugano and Lausanne respectively.
After Switzerland's win in the 2024 contest, the local authorities of Geneva expressed interest in hosting the 2025 edition at Palexpo and submitted a formal application.[4][5] On the same day, the president of the Basel-Stadt government, Conradin Cramer, also expressed interest in Basel hosting the 2025 event.[6] On 12 May, Olma Hall in St. Gallen was proposed as a potential venue.[7][8] On 13 May, Lugano, which was the host city in 1956, ruled out a bid to host in 2025, while the president of Bern's cantonal government Philippe Müller expressed his reluctance to host the contest in the de facto Swiss capital, citing "a rise in antisemitism" in the event.[9][10] Müller was publicly contradicted by the whole cantonal Bernese government on 15 May; the council congratulated Nemo and announced its support in organising the contest in Bern.[11] Meanwhile, Zurich's city council was reported to have held a "high priority" meeting to discuss a bid.[12][13] On 14 May, Lausanne, which hosted the 1989 contest, ruled out a bid to host in 2025, citing a lack of infrastructure.[14] On 15 May, Biel/Bienne, Nemo's hometown, declared its interest to be associated with and co-host the event.[15] On 17 May, the local government of Fribourg stated that it was examining a potential bid.[16] On 5 June, the Basel-Stadt government confirmed that it would bid, proposing St. Jakobshalle and St. Jakob-Park as possible venues.[17] On 6 June, Biel/Bienne and Bern's municipalities announced a joint bid.[18][19] On 12 June, St. Gallen announced that it would not submit a bid due to not meeting the requirements to host the event.[20]
The host broadcaster SRG SSR launched the bidding process in the week of 27 May 2024, by issuing a list of requirements for interested cities. Basel, Bern, Geneva, and Zurich officially declared their interest and finalised their bids on 28 June.[21][22] Representatives from the host broadcaster will visit the four bidding cities in early July and shortlist two of them by the end of the month.[23][24] The selected host city is expected to be announced by the end of August.[25]
