Your Eurovision Song Contest 2022.2 was the 7th edition of the rebooted Your Eurovision Song Contest and the 21st edition overall, following the victory of La Bronze in Your Eurovision Song Contest 2022.1, that was held in Patras & Thessaloniki, with the song "L'Habitude De Mourir". This marked the first victory of Morocco in the rebooted series of the contest, and their first victory overall. It is the first time that Morocco hosts the contest. Moreover, it was the first time that the contest moved on African soil, and the second time that it was organized outside Europe, with the previous time being held in Australia in Summer 2014. Organised by the Your Eurovision Broadcasting Union (YEBU), and Société Nationale de Radiodiffusion et de Télévision (SNRT), the contest consisted of two semi-finals, which were held on 30 December 2022 and 12 January 2023 and a Grand Final, which was held on 28 January 2023.
