It’s the TV event of the year: uniting millions of people from countries all over the world to watch outlandish musical acts take part in this four-hour fever dream while voting for their favorite. Promising incredible entertainment and more cheese than a fondue foundation, below we break down how to watch Eurovision 2022 live online from anywhere - and get a 100% free live stream through BBC iPlayer.
The 66th Eurovision Song Contest takes place in Italy after Måneskin’s rocking performance of “Zitti E Buoni” in 2021, with the high-energy event co-hosted by Singer-songwriter Mika, recording artist Laura Pausini, and TV Presenter Alessandro Cattelan. National broadcasters often provide their own running commentary, like Graham Norton’s slyly amusing coverage for the BBC.
26 countries are in competition this year. But which will take the top prize home? Personally, we’d like to see Norway’s “Give that Wolf a Banana” go the distance with their dangerously catchy, deliriously silly song and whose band members look like Daft Punk on psychedelics.
Expect pyrotechnics, jaw-dropping costumes, and emotional song writing from the “Big Five” countries and beyond, with Sam Ryder representing the UK, Germany’s Malik Harris singing the raw “Rockstars”, and Alvan and Ahez delivering fiery elemental energy for France with their track “Fulenn” (Spark).
Don’t miss a moment this Saturday, May 14 at 8pm BST / 3pm ET / 12pm PT / 5am AEST Sunday by following our guide below on how to watch the Eurovision 2022 live stream online from anywhere.
