Belgium was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 with the song "Le Grand Soir", written by Alec Mansion and Frédéric Zeitoun, and performed by Nuno Resende. The Belgian participating broadcaster, Walloon Radio-télévision belge de la Communauté française (RTBF), selected its entry through the national final Finale Nationale Concours Eurovision de la Chanson 2005. In the final on 20 March 2005 which featured two competing entries, "Le Grand Soir" performed by Nuno Resende was selected as the winner after gaining 50.2% of the public televote.
Belgium competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 19 May 2005. Performing during the show in position 11, "Le Grand Soir" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Belgium placed twenty-second out of the 25 participating countries in the semi-final with 29 points.
