Everything you need to watch this year’s Eurovision semi-finals and grand-final
We’ll continue to watch Eurovision 2022 online this week, as the extravagant gala continues! Yes, the annual international battle of the bands is here! The Eurovision Song Contest 2022 takes place throughout this week, culminating on Saturday with the Grand Final. The list of advanced and non-advanced entrants is below.
The 2022 Eurovision Song Contest is this week, with Semi-final 1 is over and semi-final 2 is tomorrow (Thursday) at 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. BST. Full details below.

— Watch from anywhere with ExpressVPN
So far, we’ve seen Albania’s Ronela Hajati twerking (but not advancing), while Latvia’s Citi Zēni’s ode to veggies “Eat Your Salad” also failed to advance. Food can still produce a winner, though, as Norway’s Subwoolfer (seen above) advanced with “Give That Wolf A Banana.”
A total of 40 countries are participating in the 65th edition of the contest. Eurovision 2021 semi-finals will feature 35 countries in total (which would have been 36, but Russia was barred from participating due to its invasion of Ukraine.) 
Then, the Eurovision 2022 grand-final will consist of the top vote-getters from the semi-finals alongside the teams from “the Big Five” (Germany, France, the UK, Italy and Spain). “The Big Five,” if you’ve never heard the term, is the group of countries that contribute the largest financial amounts to the European Broadcasting Union. 
Eurovision 2022 is happening in Turin, Italy, following Italy’s victory at Eurovision 2021, where Måneskin’s song “Zitti e buoni” took the title. While the Netherlands government lowered live audience capacity to 80 percent for last year, it doesn’t appear that the Eurovision audiences in Turin are going to be limited. 
Here’s everything you need to watch Eurovision 2022 online.
Just because Eurovision isn’t streaming on any channels in your country doesn’t mean you need to miss out! Watching along with the rest of the internet can be easy these days. With the right VPN (virtual private network), you can stream the show from wherever you go.
Not sure which VPN is the right one for you? We’ve tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN, which offers superb speeds and excellent customer service.
Speed, security and simplicity make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN right now. We were impressed by its ability to access more than 3,000 services across 94 countries and there’s a 30-day money-back guarantee if you’re not 100% happy with it.
