Eurovision 2025: All odds and who is favorite to win

Eurovision is just about to hit our screens, and will be broadcast on Saturday, May 17. While those in the UK and Europe will be able to watch it on national TV, those in America will have to settle for NBC’s Peacock.

While the live show is often a barrage of the best and worst of European culture, those looking to make some bets on who will win might want to lock in.

Eurovision could see Sweden win

Betting odds currently put Sweden as the favorite to win. This isn’t just a small chance, but a considerable leap over the competition. EurovisionWorld pegs it at a 41% chance to win, while Polymarket has it listed as a 50% chance of winning. Paddy Power has Sweden at 5/6 odds at the time of writing.

Polymarket currently has a volume of $83,733,133 behind Eurovision at the time of writing.

Next down is Austria, with around a 19% to 21% chance of winning. That is a 3/1 odds from Paddy Power, with Austria predicted to be the runners-up in the competition.

The odd one is Israel, which currently places fifth on a variety of lists. Israel’s participation has been called into question over its genocide in Gaza, with several involved with Eurovision past and present speaking out against its continued admission into the competition.

72 previous contestants have raised an issue with Israel’s entry this year, with Irish broadcaster RTE requesting at least a discussion. However, it doesn’t look as if anything will happen in this capacity, as the singer involved has “practised being booed.”
