The Eurovision Song Contest is a yearly musical event known for its over-the-top performances, being responsible for ABBA’s international breakout, and most recently, giving us rock band (and Eurovision 2021 winners) Måneskin. And while we in the U.S. now have The American Song Contest, nothing compares to the original.
Eurovision is the longest-running annual TV contest in history, with countries across Europe (and most recently, Australia), showing up to sing their hearts out since 1956. Despite its overwhelming popularity, there hasn’t been much coverage stateside until fairly recently. Harder still, depending on what region of the world you’re watching in, you could be blocked from watching the broadcast.
But even if you’re outside Europe, there are ways to catch all the performances from the comfort of your own home. We’ve got all the details about how to stream Eurovision online, especially if you’re in the U.S. This year’s song contest will be hosted at the Pala Olimpico Turin, Italy, Måneskin’s home country, with 26 artists and acts from across Europe stepping up on stage to see who can bring the title home.

The 2022 Eurovision Song Contest will be broadcast from the Pala Olimpico in Turin, Italy over three days, on May 10, 12, and the grand finale on May 14. The live broadcast will air each day on Peacock at 3:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM PST. The contest will be hosted by singer-songwriter Mika, Italian recording artist Laura Pausini, and Italian TV presenter Alessandro Cattelan. Former Olympic figure skater and Olympic analyst Johnny Weir will also serve as the host of the American coverage of the 2022 song contest on Peacock.
The first of two semi-finals kick off on Tuesday, May 10. The first round will feature Albania, Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Netherlands, Slovenia, Switzerland, Ukraine, Austria, Croatia, Denmark, Greece, Iceland, Norway, Portugal, and Armenia.
The second semi-finals round will air on on Thursday, May 12, and will see performances from Australia, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Finland, Georgia, Israel, Malta, San Marino, Serbia, Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, Ireland, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, and Sweden.
But what about France, the UK, Germany, Spain, and Italy? Those countries will automatically qualify for the grand final on Saturday, May 14, and don’t have to compete in the semi-finals.
If you’re wondering where Russia is in all this, they’ve been booted from the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest following the country’s invasion of Ukraine. Russia has competed in Eurovision since 1994, and even won the contest once, with Dima Bilan taking home the award in 2008 for the song, “Believe”.
After two tense rounds of semi-finals and eliminations, these are the 25 countries moving on to this year’s final: Czech Republic, Romania, Portugal, Finland, Switzerland, France, Norway, Armenia, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Ukraine, Germany, Lithuania, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Greece, Iceland, Moldova, Sweden, Australia, United Kingdom, Poland, Serbia, and Estonia.
If you live in America, and want to stream the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest online, you’re in luck. Growing popularity of the talent contest has lifted much of the region locks that were in place in the past. Peacock has held the official broadcast of the Eurovision Song Contest for the U.S. since 2019, and it’s been confirmed that the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest will air live (and on-demand replay) on Peacock once again.
