Broadcasting Rights

The Eurovision Song Contest is a co-production between the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and its Member Broadcasters. all public service broadcasters in their respective countries. Every year, some 200 million people watch the Eurovision Song Contest in whole or in part.

The two Semi-Finals and Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest can be watched live:

• on a main terrestrial channel in all of the participating countries.Each country can only vote in one of the two Semi-Finals, so participating broadcasters may choose not to broadcast the Semi-Final they are not voting in;
• worldwide via the live stream on the official YouTube channel of the contest, unless legal restrictions apply.
