ERT has confirmed that Greece will compete at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel, Switzerland.
According to sources speaking to EurovisionFun, Greece have officially confirmed their upcoming participation for the 69th Eurovision Song Contest, after ERT submitted the required participation form for competing, to the European Broadcasting Union.
Even though the Greek national broadcaster has confirmed their participation after completing the submission process to compete, plans on how ERT will select their upcoming artist and song is yet to be decided.
ERT is currently undergoing a change in administration, which is set to be completed by September 18, which is when it is expected that a decision on the Greek selection process for Eurovision 2025 is set to be made after this date.

Greece debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 when they were represented by Marinella and the song “Krasi, thalassa kai t’agori mou” which finished in 11th place with 7 points. Three years later Greece earned their first top 5 finish with Paschalis, Marianna, Robert, and Bessy who finished in 5th place with “Mathima solfege”. In 2001 Greece achieved their first top 3 result with Antique and the song “I Would Die For You”. The song became a European hit and charted across the continent. In 2005 Helena Paparizou returned to the Eurovision stage as a solo artist and brought Greece their first, and to date only, victory. Her song “My Number One” won with 230 points, beating runners-up Malta by 38 points.
