The 2024 Eurovision Song Contest comes to a close today with the Grand Final, which will see 26 countries compete for the win. We'll show you how to live stream the Eurovision Grand Final from anywhere, including free options.
This year's Eurovision is held in Sweden, the home country of last year's victors. Following the Tuesday and Thursday semifinals, 26 of the 37 competing countries have advanced to the Grand Final. As is the case every year, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, and the UK automatically advance to the Grand Final since these "Big Five" countries make the biggest financial contributions each year.
Sweden was also automatically pushed through, which is how it works each year for the host country. Sweden and Ireland are tied for the most overall Eurovision wins, and the latter's Bambie Thug is proving to be a 2024 favorite. If you're hoping to live stream the competition, look no further. We've compiled everything you need to know about tuning in to the 2024 Grand Final.
Eurovision live streams on Peacock in the US. The Grand Final will start on Saturday, May 11, at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT. Subscriptions start at $5.99 a month. Peacock comes with a large catalog of on-demand streaming options, including movies and TV, and several sports live streaming options, including comprehensive coverage of this summer's Olympics.
In the UK, Eurovision airs on the BBC. This means that viewers can stream it for free with BBC iPlayer. You'll just need to create a free account to get started if you don't already have one.
France TV is the French home of Eurovision. This is another free streaming option that only requires signing up for an account.
In Spain, Eurovision streams for free through RTVE Play. Users just need to create an account to use the live TV element of the site.
In Ireland, Eurovision live streams for free on RTÉ One through the RTÉ Player. This option requires no account creation, so viewers just need to navigate to the live portion of the website when the competition begins.
If you're currently in a country where Eurovision isn't streaming, you can try Eurovision's YouTube channel, which live streams the competition in select regions. If that still doesn't work, or you're hoping to access one of the aforementioned streams, you can always use a VPN to do so. VPNs (virtual private networks) are easy ways to change your device's location so that you can access websites and apps that might differ in availability depending on the region. They're great tools for increasing online privacy and using your usual apps while traveling abroad.
If this sounds like it might be a good fit, our go-to suggestion is ExpressVPN, an easy-to-use VPN with a 30-day money-back guarantee. To learn more information, check out our ExpressVPN review.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
