Eurovision 2022: When is the grand final and what time does it start?

Everyone's favourite continental music contest returns tonight as the 66th Eurovision final will take place.

The contest will get underway at 8pm on May 14, live from Turin, Italy. The final will be broadcast on BBC One from 8pm to midnight, hosted by Graham Norton.

Unlike recent years, the UK's entry, Sam Ryder has decent odds for a win. Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra are favourites to win the competition, while Russia were barred from the competition in February following the country's invasion of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian folk-rap band are participating against the odds after being given special permission to leave the county, as men of fighting age are currently unable to. Ukraine are set to take to the stage 12th in the running order.

The UK's TikTok star Sam Ryder will be number 22 out of 25 in the running order, performing the song Space Man. Here is the full line-up:
