BRIT Awards 2025: Who are the favourites to win big at this weekend’s event - will it be the ‘brat’ awards?

• Will it be the ‘brat’ awards ahead of this weekend’s BRIT Awards ceremony in London?
• Charli XCX leads the field and, according to bookies, is set to be the favourite to earn a number of awards.
• But who else is considered the favourites to win some of the biggest gongs on offer at the BRITs?

One of the UK’s biggest dates on the music calendar is set to take place this weekend, with the BRIT Awards taking place at London’s The O2 on Saturday night (March 1 2025.)

There is only one name that people are talking about this year though; Charli XCX looks to earn a clutch of awards this year thanks to the runaway success of ‘brat,’ with the work up for Album of the Year, Charli up for British Artist of the Year and Song of the Year for Guess with Billie Eilish.

The London singer has already scooped Songwriter of the Year, while her producer A.G Cook picked up a BRIT for his production work earlier this week.

But the BRITs can be a funny ceremony at times (and not just the dramas that have happened on stage), and as much as Betfred and bookies think Charli XCX is set to get her flowers this year, we all know that nothing is guaranteed at an awards ceremony.

So, who does Betfred think are going to be the big winners heading into this year’s BRIT Awards ceremony, and how can you follow along with all the action at home?
