Why the date changes in some countries
Eurovision is an evening broadcast in Europe, but the same instant falls after midnight in parts of Asia and Australia. That is why viewers in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Tokyo should pay attention to both the clock time and the local calendar date shown above.
A note about future timezone changes
Local conversions use IANA timezone rules for the confirmed May 2027 show dates. Governments can change daylight-saving or timezone rules, so the official 21:00 CESTstart remains the source of truth. We will refresh this table if relevant timezone rules change before Eurovision week.
