The United Kingdom will be represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel, Switzerland. The British participating broadcaster, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), will internally select its entry for the contest. As a member of the "Big Five", the United Kingdom automatically qualifies to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest.
As part of its duties as participating broadcaster, the BBC organises the selection of its entry in the Eurovision Song Contest and broadcasts the event in the country. The broadcaster has used various methods to select its entry: From 1957 to 2010, it organised a national final which featured a competition among several artists and songs to choose its entry for the contest. Between 2011 and 2015, the BBC opted to internally select its entry. For its 2016 entry, the broadcaster announced that a national final would be organised again. The same process was used in 2017 and 2018, and changes were brought in for 2019. From 2020, the BBC opted to return to an internal selection.
