Which country has won Eurovision the most?
Some countries have a whole lot of victories.
Thousands of Eurovision fans are currently in Basel, Switzerland, ahead of tonight’s Grand Final of the song contest.
Remember Monday, who will be representing the United Kingdom, will be hoping to capture the nation’s first title since 1997.
However, this year’s favourite is certainly proving to be Sweden’s Kaj, who sailed through the semi-finals with the coordinated dance number Bara Bada Bastu (Just Sauna).
Behind Kaj, JJ, of Austria, wowed audiences with his song Wasted Love in the second semi-final.
Graham Norton will be hosting this evening’s UK coverage of the competition live from Basel, with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark hosting on BBC Radio 2.
But, if Sweden were to win tonight, would that make them the country who has won Eurovision the most times? Here’s what you need to know…
Which country has won Eurovision the most times? Loreen is Eurovision’s queen, but has she helped Sweden make history? (Picture: Dominic Lipinski/Getty Images)Sweden’s 2023 entry Loreen was the hot favourite going in, and she proved all the bookies right.

After Sweden’s 2023 victory, they are now tied as the country with the most Eurovision wins.
Both Sweden and Ireland have won the competition seven times.
Sweden’s wins started with ABBA in 1974, and include 1984, 1991, 1999, 2012, 2015 and now 2023.
