The BBC has confirmed its presenting line-up for the Eurovision semi-finals this week. The action is set to begin tonight (May 13) and will continue over the coming days.

The UK will not be competing in the qualification round as they have already secured a place in the 2025 grand final on May 17 by virtue of being one of the Big Five. The Beeb has confirmed the start time for the first semi-final.

Who are the BBC’s Eurovision presenters for the semi-finals?

The Beeb has confirmed who will be on commentary duty across BBC One, iPlayer, Radio 2 and BBC Sounds for the semi-finals. Graham Norton will be back for the final on Saturday (May 17), but he is not for the two qualification nights.

BBC One and iPlayer

Rylan and Scott Mills will be providing commentary on both of the semi-finals on the Beeb this week. Each night is set to be hosted by Swiss stars, Hazel Brugger and Sandra Studer - as the host nation provides presenters for the broadcast.

Speaking ahead of the event, Rylan said: “Basel, I’m coming for you! It’s my favourite time of year and I can’t wait to be reunited with my Eurovision husband, Scott Mills, in the commentary booth! We’ll be cheering loudly for our girls Remember Monday!

“I know they’ve been told to avoid a night out with me, but I think I can persuade Richie and Sara Cox to join me at EuroClub instead...”

Scott Mills added: “I cannot wait to be back in the commentary booth with Rylan, who will no doubt have perfected every dance routine for all 37 countries. We’ll be cheering on Remember Monday… who I’ve already agreed to get matching tattoos with if they place in the Top 5 in the Final!

“And I’m so excited to be taking my Breakfast Show international as we broadcast from the heart of the contest in Basel for the whole week. Eurovision is a true celebration of diversity and I love sharing that with everyone - to do that for the first time on the UK’s biggest Breakfast Show is a dream!”

BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds

If you are tuning into the semi-finals on the radio (or BBC Sounds) can look forward to hearing commentary from Sara Cox and Richie Anderson. While for the final, Rylan and Scott Mills will jump over to Radio 2.

Speaking before the first semi-final, Sara said: “So excited to be in Basel and throw myself back into the crazy, rainbow hued feel-good fest that is Eurovision."

Richie added: “This is my fourth time at Eurovision, but I’ve loved it my whole life. After watching Gina G perform at my Auntie Jackie’s house back in 1996, I was hooked. For me, it’s the perfect mix of escapism and fun and I can’t wait to share that with our Radio 2 listeners.”
