As of January 30th, 9 countries have announced their artist for the 2025 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, and that number is going to quickly increase over the next few weeks. In the Eurovision fandom, a “Super Saturday” is when three or more countries choose their song on the same Saturday night. This year, there are four of them (there were originally five, but due to Moldova’s sudden withdrawal there will only be two National Selections occurring on 22 February). Here is your guide to all of the upcoming Super Saturdays!
1 February: Slovenia, Belgium, Spain

The first Super Saturday of the season is a smaller one with just three countries, the first of which is Slovenia. Slovenia has used the contest Evrovizijska Melodija (known as EMA) as their National Selection every year since 1996. Unfortunately, this method has yet to produce a winner or even a top 5 placement, with their best result being 7th in the Grand Final in 2001. 12 songs will compete to improve upon this record, with 2 songs proceeding to a Superfinal. Bookmakers have not placed their bets on who is going to win this one, but July Jones and her song “New Religion” is winning the fan poll on Eurovision World by an overwhelming margin. EMA will stream on TV SLO 1 from 20:00 to 22:10 CET.
In 2023, Belgium selected their entry via a National Selection called Eurosong (which I had the pleasure and privilege to attend in person!). The winner, Gustaph, placed 7th in the Grand Final at Eurovision. Last year, Belgium decided to select their entry internally instead; however, the chosen artist, Mustii, failed to qualify for the Grand Final, coming in 13th in the Semi-Final. Perhaps this major downgrade in results is why Belgium has chosen to bring Eurosong back. 8 artists will be competing to fly the Belgian flag in Basel. The current favorite to win is Red Sebastian with the song “Strobe Lights.” Eurosong will stream on both YouTube and VRT MAX from 20:55 to 22:35 CET.
Spain’s Benidorm Fest returns for the fourth year in a row as the method of choosing who will represent Spain at Eurovision. A total of 16 artists will compete for this honor with half of them performing in the final round this Saturday. Bookmakers currently predict that Lachispa will win with her song “Hartita de Llorar,” though Melody and her song “Esa diva” is also a strong contender. Spain’s placement in the Grand Final has gotten worse each year since the beginning of Benidorm Fest (3rd in 2022, 17th in 2023, and 22nd in 2024), so hopefully this year’s artist will break that pattern. Benidorm Fest will stream on both YouTube and RTVE Play from 22:00 to midnight CET.
8 February: Ukraine, Finland, Latvia, Malta

Ukraine is the only country in Eurovision history to have a 100% Grand Final qualification rate. They have placed in the Top 10 every year since 2021, including a victory in 2022. They also brought home the gold in 2016: the first year of their current National Selection, Vidbir. 10 artists will compete to defend Ukraine’s no-NQ streak, including last year’s Vidbir runner-up Ziferblat. The current favorite to win according to Eurovision World is Masha Kondratenko with her song “No Time To Die.” Vidbir will stream live on YouTube, Suspilne Kultura, and Facebook at 17:30 CET.
Two years after Finland came in 2nd place at the Grand Final with Käärijä’s “Cha Cha Cha,” the 14th edition of Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (UMK) will determine the country’s Eurovision representative once more. Among the 6 artists is tango superstar Erika Vikman, who released a song called “Ruoska” with Käärijä last year. Bookmakers have put her at an impressive 64% chance of winning; the rock band One Morning Left and their song “Puppy” had been the runners-up in the odds, but they were disqualified from the competition earlier this month. UMK will stream on YLE from 20:00 to 22:00 CET.
After a 6-year NQ streak, Latvia finally made it to the Grand Final last year with Dons and his song “Hollow,” which ultimately placed 16th. 19 artists (originally 20, but competitor Grēta had to withdraw due to health issues) will be competing in the 10th edition of Latvia’s National Selection, Supernova, including 2022 winners Citi Zēni. 10 of these artists will qualify for the Final after one Semi-Final. Supernova’s odds are no longer available on Eurovision World for some reason, but the site’s fan poll places The Ludvig and his song “Līgo” at the top. Supernova will stream on LTV1 from 20:10 to 22:45 CET.
Malta has chosen their song via the Malta Eurovision Song Contest (MESC) every year since 2011. Although this method has earned them two Top 10 placements, Malta has not made it to the Grand Final since 2021. 24 artists will compete to try and break that NQ streak, with 16 competing in the Final after two Semi-Finals. Current frontrunners include Miriana Conte, Kristy Spiteri, and Kantera. This will be Conte’s fifth time competing in MESC. MESC will stream on TVM, though the exact time has not been announced yet.
15 February: Estonia, Norway, Lithuania, Italy

Estonia has chosen its Eurovision entry via their National Selection Eesti Laul every year since 2009. If the odds are to be believed, Tommy Cash and his song “Espresso macchiato” is essentially guaranteed victory: his chances of winning are over 60%, while the remaining 14 competitors’ are all in the single digits. Eesti Laul will stream on ERR at 18:15 CET.
Norway’s Melodi Grand Prix is is one of the oldest National Selections in Eurovision history. The 9 competitors in the 63rd edition of the contest include not just one, but two, Eurovision alumni: iconic duo Bobbysocks, who brought the country its first ever victory back in 1985, and hair metal band Wig Wam, who placed 9th in the Grand Final in 2005. However, neither of them are expected to win; the current odds predict a tight race between Kyle Alessandro with his song “Lighter” and Nataleen with her song “The Game.” MGP will stream on NRK TV from 19:50 to 21:50 CET.
Estonia isn’t the only Baltic nation choosing its Eurovision representative on February 15th. After narrowing down 44 entries through 5 heats, 10 artists will compete in Lithuania’s Eurovizija.LT. Since only 6 finalists have been chosen by the time of this article’s publication, no odds or polls regarding the winner are available yet. The Eurovizija.LT Final will stream on YouTube and LRT at 20:00 CET.
Italy’s Sanremo Music Festival is another National Selection with a long history, originating in 1951. After 5 nights of performances including their potential Eurovision songs as well as covers of existing songs, 29 artists (originally 30, but competitor Emis Killa withdrew) will be reduced to just 5 for the Superfinal. It’s difficult to predict a winner out of such a large pool of contestants, but right now bookmakers have their eyes on Giorgia, who won Sanremo in 1995 and proceeded to compete three more times after this victory (making this year her fifth participation); Olly, who placed 24th at Sanremo in 2023; and Eurovision alumnus Achille Lauro, who ended up representing San Marino instead of Italy after placing 14th at Sanremo in 2022. All 5 nights of Sanremo will stream on Rai 1 at 20:40 CET.
1 March: Denmark, Germany, Serbia

March will begin with the final Super Saturday of the season. Denmark is yet another country with an unfortunate NQ streak, their most recent Grand Final appearance being in 2019. The 8 artists and songs for Denmark’s Melodi Grand Prix (sometimes called Dansk Melodi Grand Prix to distinguish it from Norway’s National Selection of the same name) will be revealed on 6 February, after the first Super Saturday has already come and gone. Dansk Melodi Grand Prix will air on DR1 from 20:00 to 22:00 CET.
Germany finally broke its 4-year streak of placing in the bottom 2 at the Grand Final last year when ISAAK placed 12th with his song “Always on the run” (which was the #2 song on my Spotify Wrapped 2024, by the way). After internal selections in 2020 and 2021, the country has changed its National Selection every year since: Germany 12 Points in 2022, Unser Lied für Liverpool in 2023, and das Deutsche Finale in 2024. This year brings yet another brand new contest called Chefsache ESC 2025 – Wer singt für Deutschland?. It will include two heats of 12 songs each and one Semi-Final with between 12 and 14 songs, and 9 acts will compete in the Final. None of the participating artists have been announced yet. Chefsache will stream on Das Erste from 20:15 to 23:30 CET.
Serbia announced its lineup for the fourth edition of Pesma za Evroviziju back in early December. After two Semi-Finals in late February, 16 of the original 30 competitors will qualify for the Pesma za Evroviziju Final in March. Although no finalists have been decided yet, the current poll on Eurovision World has Mimi Mercedez with “Turbo žurka” and Tam with “Durum durum” as the two most popular picks. Pesma za Evroviziju will stream on YouTube, though the exact time has not been announced yet.
