Back in January 2020, the draw for Eurovision 2020 took place, where it was decided which country will compete in which semi final, and in which half of the semi finals. Due to the cancellation of the Contest, and originally all countries remaining the same for this year’s Contest, the draw still remained valid for this year. With the eventual withdrawal of Armenia, and the exclusion of Belarus, we lost one country in each semi final, and now that the EBU had all the information about each of the acts, the running order has been done and announced.

The producers at the Dutch national broadcaster NPO/NOS/AVROTROS have done the running order for this year’s edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, which was then approved by the Executive Supervisor, Mr. Martin Osterdahl. The running order is as follows:

Semi Final 1 (18th of May):

1. Lithuania
2. Slovenia
3. Russia
4. Sweden
5. Australia
