Greek broadcaster ERT has announced more details regarding the national selection format for Eurovision 2025.
A total of 187 songs were submitted to the national selection, a track-record compared to recent years.
Initially, the national final was scheduled to take place on January 29th.
However, due to technical reasons, the national final will be postponed by a day.
This means that Greece will select its Eurovision 2025 entry on Thursday, the 30th of January 2025.
