Eesti Laul 2025 will only consist of one show; a grand final on February 15. This will be the first time since 2010 that Eesti Laul will consist of only one show. The voting in the final will take place over two rounds. In the first round, a seven-member international expert and public voting will select three entries to advance to the superfinal.
In the superfinal, public voting alone will decide the winner. The winner of Eesti Laul 2025 will represent Estonia in Eurovision 2025 in Basel.

Estonia debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994 alongside six other countries. In 2001 Estonia won the Eurovision Song Contest for the only time to date. They won with the song “Everybody”, performed by Tanel Padar, Dave Benton & 2XL, who took a surprise victory in Copenhagen. After the success of the late-90s and early 00s, Estonia failed to qualify for the final from 2004-2008. In 2009 Estonia launched a new selection show, Eesti Laul. They have qualified for the final on 10 out of 15 attempts since.
