The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2025 is set to be the 23rd edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, that will take place on 13 December 2025 at the small hall of the Olympic Palace ^{[1] [2]} in Tbilisi, Georgia. It is being organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Georgian Public Broadcaster (GPB), ^[3] who will stage the event after winning the 2024 contest for Georgia with the song "To My Mom" by Andria Putkaradze. This will be the second time that the contest will be held in the country, following 2017. ^{[4] [5]}

Unlike the Eurovision Song Contest, the winning broadcaster of the previous year's Junior Eurovision Song Contest does not automatically receive the right to host the next edition. However, since 2011 (with the exceptions of 2012, 2015, 2018 and 2024) it has become customary for winners to take on hosting duties, and since 2019, the winning broadcaster has had the right of first refusal on hosting the following competition. In 2024, French broadcaster France Télévisions was given this right but ultimately opted out of it. ^[6]

On 16 November 2024, upon its victory in the 2024 contest, the director of the Georgian Public Broadcaster (GPB), Tinatin Berdzenishvili  [ ka ], stated that the broadcaster would begin talks with the EBU on hosting the 2025 contest, although she stopped short of confirming whether the country would be hosting. ^{[7] [8] [9]} GPB announced shortly after the 2024 contest through its official Facebook page that the 2025 edition would be held in the country, ^[10] but the EBU later denied having selected Georgia as the host country, stating that it would make a decision at a later date. ^[11]

On 4 April 2025, Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS mentioned in the first episode of auditions for Junior Songfestival 2025 that Junior Eurovision 2025 would take place in Georgia. ^[12] On 9 April, the State Procurement Agency of Georgia published documents stating that the Georgian government, the EBU and GPB had jointly agreed that the contest would be held in Tbilisi on 13 December 2025; ^[13] this was confirmed and announced by the EBU and GPB on 13 May. ^{[14] [15]}

Provisional list of participants

Eligibility for participation in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest requires a national broadcaster with active EBU membership capable of receiving the contest via the Eurovision network and broadcasting it live nationwide. The EBU issues invitations to participate in the contest to all active members.

As of September 2025 ^[update] , broadcasters from the following countries have publicly confirmed their intention to participate in the 2025 contest. Azerbaijan, Croatia, and Montenegro are set to return for the first time since 2021, 2014 and 2015 respectively, while Estonia and Germany have opted not to participate after appearing in the previous edition.
