The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 is set to be broadcast by Kringvarp Føroya, the Faroese broadcaster.
The Eurovision Song Contest returns to Kringvarp Føroya, with the broadcaster set to broadcast the contest live to viewers in the Faroe Islands. The broadcaster is sending a team to Basel to cover the competition, which has Faroese interest this year.
Sissal is due to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, representing Denmark with “Hallucination”. She is the second Faroese artist to represent Denmark at Eurovision, following in the footsteps of Reiley who competed in 2023.
The Faroe Islands have previously broadcast the Eurovision Song Contest in between 1983 and 2002, and in 2011, 2014, and 2023. At the time, Kringvarp Føroya reached an agreement with the Danish broadcaster DR to air the contest. Until Kringvarp Føroya joins the European Broadcasting Union, Faroese citizens wishing to take to the Eurovision stage can only compete on behalf of Denmark.
The Faroe Islands broadcaster KvF has hopes of competing in the Eurovision Song Contest. KVF reported in 2024 that at least five years’ worth of support will be required to gain membership of the organisation.
EBU membership fees will be significant for the broadcaster, with an estimated one-off payment of 1.5 Million Kr (201,000 Euro), with an additional 500,000 Kr (67,000 Euro) membership fee each year. Participation in the Eurovision Song Contest would cost a significant amount, including participation fees, costs of staying in the host city, and the cost of staging its performance.
