According to reports from Swiss media, May 10 is a likely date for the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025.
Local Swiss media has reported that the CEO of the Hallenstadion in Zurich, a venue that could be hosting the contest next May, has stated that the unofficial date for the final is May 10. The venue is reported to have been told by SRG SRR that it would need to be reserved for 6-8 weeks from the start of April to the middle of May.
“The ESC is the largest music event in the world. 180 million viewers! This would be invaluable advertising for Zurich, but also for the Hallenstadion. We were told to reserve six to eight weeks from around the beginning of April to mid-May 2025. With a possible, still unofficial date for the final on May 10th.” – Philipp Musshafen – CEO of the Hallenstadion
In recent years, the contest has been hosted in the middle weeks of May, and the dates of May 6, 8, and 10 would fit this trend. The only big conflicting event around those dates is a UEFA Europa League Semi-Final game taking place on 8 May.
The dates of May 13, 15, and 17 would also be free of any big conflict with other larger pan-European events and still fit the “mid-May 2025” scope. At this time no official news regarding dates from the EBU or host broadcaster has been announced.
