Here are the semi-final draw results for 2024 – the Semi-Final Allocation Draw 2024 took place at Malmö Rådhus on the evening of 30 January, deciding which participating countries will compete and vote in which semi-final, and the opening ceremony of the live streamed ceremony saw the baton of the host city pass from former host Liverpool to our Swedish friends.
The ‘Big 5’ countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK) are not in the semi-finals, and this year’s reigning champions Sweden are not either, but it was decided at random which semi-finalists each country could vote for. The exact order of the semi-finals will be decided by the producers at a later date.

The Draw was hosted by Farah Abadi & Pernilla Månsson Colt and overseen by the Eurovision Song Contest’s Executive Supervisor Martin Österdahl, who said:
‘We’re thrilled to kick off another exciting year for the Eurovision Song Contest here in Malmö. Liverpool set the standard in 2023 when it comes to hosting and embracing this event and we’re looking forward to Malmö building on that incredible work when we welcome 37 delegations and hundreds of thousands of fans in May.’
Ebba Adielsson, SVT’s Executive Producer for ESC 2024 said:
‘The Semi-Final Draw is a milestone in the yearly calendar of the Eurovision Song Contest and something that really kicks off this exciting spring when we will be celebrating music in all forms.’
With all the competence, experience and engagement in everyone, both behind the camera and in the City of Malmö, there is no doubt that the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest will be a mind blowing and memorable event for everyone present in the city and for the people all over the world watching at home.’
Mayor of Malmö, Katrin Stjernfeldt Jammeh, added:
‘Malmö is a young, diverse, and globally connected city. We love to welcome the world here, and work hard to make sure that our city remains open and welcoming for everyone who choose to visit Malmö for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.’
