In Turin, the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 presented its lineup as the semi finals closed and the final field took shape. Spain, having earned its place in the grand final after a strong showing in the second semi-final, learned its position for the decisive Saturday night. The Spanish entry would perform from position 10, a slot that typically sits near the center of the running order and carries a strategic balance of exposure and momentum.
With Italy presiding over the event and the hosts guiding the staging, the artist from Spain would share the stage with the track Slo Mo, while the Dutch entry De Diepte was slated for the ninth and eleventh positions in the semi final order, keeping the show dynamic and evenly distributed across the lineup. The arrangement positioned Spain closely to the midsection of the final, a placement often associated with a strong chance to sustain audience interest through the duration of the show.
Historically, Spain had not opened the final in the traditional tenth slot during Eurovision 2022. Previous Spanish representatives, including Marcos Lunas with Son de Sol and the famous duet El Pollo, had performed in the tenth position during Dublin 1997 and Kyiv 2005 with songs like Sin rencor and Brujería. The last true winner to perform in this position was Måns Zelmerlöw, whose up-tempo track Heroes resonated with audiences much like Slo Mo in its tempo and energy.
As has been the practice since 2013, the running order of the final is determined by the Italian broadcaster RAI together with the event producers, using results from the earlier draws conducted alongside the Big Five and the semi final qualifiers. These decisions come after a series of press conferences that reveal the semi final allocations and the final lineup, shaping the narrative and flow of the show.
Ukraine is slated to perform twelfth, with Sweden at twentieth and the United Kingdom at twenty-second.
In this framework, Sweden and the United Kingdom remain among the top favorites to win, with their positions just four places apart in the second half of the final. The Swedish act is set to appear at position twenty, while the British entry takes the twenty-second slot. Ukraine will conclude its competition with Kalush Orchestra performing Lights Off in the twelfth position, a finale that opens with We Are Domi from the Czech Republic and Stefán from Estonia performing Hope. The arrangement underscores a blend of high-profile acts and emerging talents complementing the final’s pace and emotional arc.
