The Eurovision Song Contest 2022 was the 66th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It consisted of two semi-finals on 10 and 12 May and a final on 14 May 2022, held at the Palasport Olimpico in Turin, Italy, and presented by Alessandro Cattelan, Laura Pausini and Mika. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Radiotelevisione italiana (RAI), which staged the event after winning the 2021 contest for Italy with the song "Zitti e buoni" by Måneskin.

Broadcasters from forty countries participated in the contest, with Armenia and Montenegro returning after their absence from the previous edition. Russia had originally planned to participate, but was excluded due to its invasion of Ukraine.
