It is that time of year again when countries all across Europe (including Australia!) come together to celebrate music and unity.
With the final in Malmo, Sweden taking place tonight, many across the UK will be wondering when it's on.
With that said, here is when you can watch the Eurovision Song Contest final as it broadcasts live on BBC One.

The Eurovision Song Contest final will start tonight (Saturday, May 11) at around 8pm (BST) after a double billing of Doctor Who.
It will air on BBC One with coverage of the event running until 11:55pm.
When is the UK performing in the Eurovision final?
This year, UK entry Olly Alexander will be performing Dizzy.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
