On the night of the win, the chief executive of Sveriges Television, Eva Hamilton, stated to Swedish media that venues in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö are being considered as host venues for the 2013 Contest.^[2] The most recent host arena, the Ericsson Globe, used for the 2000 Contest, is however booked for the World Ice Hockey Championships, and will not be used to host the Eurovision Song Contest on the scheduled dates.

The following candidate cities have provisionally reserved venues and hotel rooms, as part of their bids to host the 2013 Contest.^[3]

City	Venue	Capacity	Notes

Other countries

Liechtenstein – The head of 1 Fürstentum Liechtenstein Television (1FLTV), Peter Kölbel, has said that due to a lack of financial subsidies from the Government of Liechtenstein, participation will be impossible until 2013 at the earliest.^[23] 1FLTV have been trying to join the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) since 2010, however the government has not granted the nation's only channel the necessary subsidies. Kölbel believes that the country had a good chance of joining the contest in 2013, if funding is approved.^[24]
