The United Kingdom held a national preselection to choose the song that would go to the Eurovision Song Contest 1975. It was held on 15 February 1975 and presented by Lulu.

For the Eurovision Song Contest, broadcast on 22 March 1975, Pete Murray provided the BBC Television commentary, having previously presented the contest for BBC Radio in 1968 and 1969, 1972 and 1973. Terry Wogan once again provided the radio commentary on BBC Radio 2. British Forces Radio had been scheduled to broadcast the contest with commentary provided by Richard Astbury, but technical difficulties prevented the broadcast from going ahead.

Results

"Let Me Be the One" won the national and went on to come 2nd in the contest.
