The Estonian selection will only consist of an one night-show, in which sixteen songs are going to compete and will take place February 15, 2025, while the voting will take place in two stages.
- During the first stage, all sixteen participants will perform their entries. Following the voting of the jury panel and the public’s vote in equal shares, a number of them will advance to the Superfinal.
- During the Superfinal, the winner of Eesti Laul 2025 and therefore the Estonian representative in Eurovision 2025 will be decided exclusively by the public.
The previous winners of Eesti Laul and Estonia’s representatives at Eurovision 2024 were 5MIINUST x Puuluup with their song “(nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi”, who finished in 20th place in the grand final.
