Australian national broadcaster SBS has announced that Australia’s representative for Eurovision 2025 will be chosen through internal selection, similar to last year’s process. The submission window for songs has closed, and the production team is now working on selecting the artist and song to represent the country in the competition to be held in Basel, Switzerland. The network stated that the official announcement of the representative and song will be made before the deadline set by the European Broadcasting Union in March 2025

Early Preparations for Eurovision 2026

Despite the closure of submissions for the current year, the national broadcaster has already opened the song submission window for Eurovision 2026, confirming Australia’s participation in Eurovision 2026. Artists and songwriters interested in applying for next year are invited to send their materials to [email protected].

Potential Return of a Former Representative

Concurrently, Guy Sebastian, who first represented Australia at Eurovision 2015 and finished fifth with the song “Tonight Again“, recently expressed interest in returning to the competition. In an interview, he stated that he would be happy to represent Australia again. However, it is currently unknown if he is the artist chosen to represent the country at Eurovision 2025.
