The Eurovision Song Contest is an international song competition, organised annually by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and featuring participants representing primarily European countries. Each participating country submits an original song to be performed on live television and radio, transmitted to national broadcasters via the EBU's Eurovision and Euroradio networks, with competing countries then casting votes for the other countries' songs to determine the winner.

Final

The final features twenty-six competing countries, composed of the host country Sweden, the "Big Five", and the ten best-ranked entries of each of the two semi-finals. All thirty-seven participating countries with jury and televote, as well as non-participating countries, will vote in the final. The interval acts during the final will include a tribute performance of the 1974 Swedish winning song "Waterloo" by ABBA, on the occasion of its 50th anniversary, by three past Eurovision winners – Carola (Sweden 1991), Perrelli and Conchita Wurst (Austria 2014) – as well as performances by 2012 and 2023 winner for Sweden, Loreen, and Swedish band Alcazar, reunited for the occasion. Despite qualifying for the final where it was set to perform in position 5, the Netherlands was disqualified from the competition. However, the country retained the right to vote in the final.
