Like previous editions of the show it is expected that Söngvakeppnin 2025 will also feature 10 acts split into two semi-final where artists should perform the Icelandic versions of their entries while in the final they could change to the one in English which will also be the final version of their song which they want to perform at the stage of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel. However the full details of the contest will be revealed at a later date.
