How to Watch Eurovision Song Contest 2024

It’s almost time for the 68th annual Eurovision Song Contest to bring together the world’s biggest acts for an epic music spectacular.

Hosted by Malin Åkerman and Petra Mede, Eurovision 2024 returns to Malmö, Sweden, for the third time (following the city’s hosting of the 1992 and 2013 editions). The new permanent slogan for the event is “United by Music.” The theme for this year’s event is “The Eurovision Lights,” which the organization defines as, “a concept based on simple linear gradients, inspired by the vertical lines that permeate both the Northern lights and sound equalizers.”

The contest will take place across three days at Malmö Arena. On May 7 and 9, two semi-finals will take place, and the grand final will follow on Saturday, May 11, starting at 21:00 Central European Summer Time (3 p.m. ET, 12 p.m. PT in the U.S.).

If you’re hoping to catch all of the action, here’s a guide on how to watch, along with other essential details about the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.
