Where to watch

How Eurovision 2027 will air in America hasn't been announced yet. Here's how it worked for Eurovision 2026 in Vienna, which is the best guide to what to expect:

We'll update this guide as soon as we know how Burgas will air in America.

How long each broadcast lasts

The semi-finals usually run a little over two hours. The Grand Final is closer to four, including the vote, which is often the best part.

Planning a watch party

  • Make it the Grand Final. A Saturday at 3 p.m. Eastern is about as good a slot as an American Eurovision party gets.
  • Watch the entries first. The songs are released weeks ahead, so your guests can pick favorites before the show.
  • Vote together. Yes, Americans can. Here's how.
  • Score it yourself. Hand out scorecards with Eurovision's points: 1 to 8, 10 and 12.
