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 European Broadcasters Group (EBG), and will be held at the AlxBOX. Two semi-finals on 19 and 21 April will precede the final on 23 April 2022.

This will be the first time that Piraea hosts the contest in its 63-year history.

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.
