The Euclovision Song Contest 2022 is the upcoming 64th edition of the Euclovision Song Contest. It is set to take place in Alikianos, Piraea, following the country's victory at the 2021 contest with the song "Paradeisos" (Παράδεισος) by Stella Fotiou. The contest will be organised by host broadcaster Piraean Radio and Television (PRT) in conjunction with the Euclean Broadcasters Group (EBG), and will be held at the AlkBOX. Two semi-finals on 19 and 21 April will precede the final on 23 April 2022.

Other countries

Active EBG members

Non-EBG members

Broadcasters, commentators and spokespersons

Broadcasters and commentators

Participating broadcasters are required to broadcast the final live, in addition to the semi-final in which they are participating or voting, with most broadcasters opting to broadcast all three live shows. Due to time zone differences, many participating non-Euclean countries may rebroadcast the shows on timeshift during their primetime hours in addition to broadcasting the shows live. Most broadcasters will also use on-site or remote commentators, who will narrate over the live show in real time in their respective language(s). Some non-participating countries may also broadcast the contest.

The following is a list of broadcasters that have confirmed in whole or in part their broadcasting plans and their commentators.

Controversies

West Miersan entry

On 10 January, Telewizja Mierska announced that they would enter Ja wciąż cię kocham for the 2022 Euclovision Song Contest.[1] This entry immediately garnered controversy, as the song, which is about a man trying to get his wife to not leave him, could also be interpreted as West Miersa trying to persuade the breakaway state of Lemovicia to return to West Miersan rule, leading to the Lemovician Representative Office in Piraea demanding that the entry be disqualified from the competition, and if not disqualified, for people to not watch Euclovision.[2]

Tour Apostolou 81 fire

During the night of 31st January and 1st February, a fire consumed the Apostolou 81 building in the centre of Alikianos.[3] The tower of 31 floors and 106 metres resulted completely destroyed by the raging fire and during an initial moment, the idea of a terrorist attack perpetuated by a branch of the Lemovician organisation Aranoak was spread by media, after the country's representative office in Alikianos announced a boycott to the contest edition in the city.[4]

During the morning of the 1st February, the Minister of Interior Alex Puloglou clarified the information and dismissed the theory of a terrorist attack. The Lemovician representative office in Alikianos also issued a statement expressing their sorrows and condemning disinformation.[5]
