SVT, the Swedish national broadcaster, have announced format changes for Melodifestivalen 2025 – their national selection for the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest.

SVT will release all six songs competing in each heat – which will be released the day before their semi-final, on the Friday. Songs that have previously made the final were released in full following the last semi final.

The 2025 second chance flash vote (at the end of semi final 5), will only feature the third place entries from each heat – therefore five entries vying for only two places in the final. When the second chance flash vote was introduced for 2024, the third & fourth placed entries from each heat challenged again – therefore ten entries vying for only two places in the final.

Let us know what you think about Sweden and the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest – either in the comments below or on our FACEBOOK, TWITTER, YOUTUBE, INSTAGRAM and TIKTOK pages.
