The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 is the upcoming 67th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It is set to take place in the United Kingdom, after Ukraine, winner of the 2022 contest with the song "Stefania" by Kalush Orchestra, was unable to meet the demands of hosting the event due to security concerns caused by the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on behalf of the National Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine (UA:PBC), the contest will consist of two semi-finals and a final in May 2023.[1] This will be the record ninth time that the United Kingdom will host the contest, having last done so in Birmingham in 1998.

Location

Host country selection

The 2022 contest was won by Ukraine with the song "Stefania" by Kalush Orchestra, and in accordance with Eurovision tradition, Ukraine was initially given the opportunity to organise the 2023 contest by the EBU.[2][3] This would have been the third time that Ukraine hosted the contest, having previously done so in 2005 and 2017, both times in Kyiv. However, in light of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, speculation was raised that the country would not be capable of hosting the event.[4] Due to this, several countries expressed interest in hosting in the event that Ukraine could not: Belgium,[5] Italy,[6] the Netherlands,[7] Poland,[8] Spain (who later withdrew their interest),[9] Sweden[10] and the United Kingdom.[11]

On 16 May 2022, Mykola Chernotytskyi [uk], chairman of the Ukrainian participating broadcaster Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine (UA:PBC), stated that they wish to host the contest in a peaceful Ukraine and hoped that the country would be able to guarantee the safety of all participants and their delegations during the event.[12] Chernotytskyi later stated that the broadcaster would begin discussions with the EBU regarding the hosting of the contest on 20 May.[13][14]

Numerous Ukrainian politicians advocated for the contest to take place in Ukraine. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that he hoped for the contest to one day take place in Mariupol.[15] Mykola Povoroznyk, the first deputy head of the Kyiv City State Administration, stated on 26 May that Kyiv would be ready to host the contest if asked.[16] Ukrainian minister of culture Oleksandr Tkachenko stated on 3 June his intention to discuss conditional changes with the EBU in order to allow the contest to be held in the country.[17][18] Taras Melnychuk, representative of the Ukrainian government for the Verkhovna Rada, stated on 10 June that a committee was formed to aid the organisation of the contest.[19]

On 16 June, UA:PBC and the Ukrainian government held a meeting with the EBU to discuss potential hosting options in Ukraine.[20][21] At the meeting, UA:PBC proposed Lviv, Zakarpattia and Kyiv as potential host locations.[22] The following day, the EBU announced that Ukraine would not be able to host the contest, following assessments with both UA:PBC and third-party specialists, and that discussions would begin with the 2022 runner-up, the BBC, for a potential hosting in the United Kingdom.[23] In response, UA:PBC chairman Chernotytskyi and Ukrainian minister of culture Tkachenko, alongside Ukrainian Eurovision winners Ruslana, Jamala and Oleh Psiuk (founder of Kalush Orchestra), issued a joint statement requesting further talks with the EBU on hosting the event in Ukraine,[24][25] a stance supported by British prime minister Boris Johnson,[26][27] the Polish broadcaster TVP, Polish deputy prime minister and minister of culture Piotr Gliński,[28] and British culture secretary Nadine Dorries.[29] A follow-up statement from the EBU on 23 June reaffirmed its decision to not host the event in Ukraine, highlighting the security considerations for doing so while also urging for the process of choosing the host country to not be politicised.[30] The last time the contest was not held in the previous year's winning country was in 1980.

Following the announcement that Ukraine would not host the event, a number of cities in the United Kingdom expressed interest in hosting: Aberdeen, Belfast, Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Nottingham, Newcastle, Sheffield, Sunderland, and Wolverhampton.[1][31][32] Furthermore, British newspaper The Guardian suggested that the European Union could bid to host the event in Belgium's capital Brussels;[33][34] the Belgian French-language broadcaster RTBF and the City of Brussels later expressed their interest as well.[5]

On 25 July 2022, the EBU, UA:PBC and the BBC announced that the 2023 contest would be held in the United Kingdom, with the host city bidding process to commence in the same week.[35] UA:PBC will work with the BBC to develop and implement Ukrainian elements of the Contest[36].

Further information: List of countries in the Eurovision Song Contest

Eligibility for potential participation in the Eurovision Song Contest requires a national broadcaster with active EBU membership that would be able to broadcast the contest via the Eurovision network. The EBU regularly issues invitations of participation in the contest to all active members. Associate member Australia does not need an invitation for the 2023 contest, as it had previously been granted permission to participate at least until 2023.[81]

Active EBU members

  •  Andorra – On 26 May 2022, Dani Ortolà, content manager of Andorran broadcaster RTVA, confirmed that the country currently is unlikely to return to the contest in the short or medium term.[82] Andorra last took part in 2009.
  •  Croatia – In March 2021, it was confirmed that the Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT) and the city of Opatija signed a three-year long contract regarding the organisation of HRT Music Days and Dora, the Croatian national selection, meaning both of these events would be held in the city annually until 2024.[83] An official confirmation of participation from HRT is pending.
  •  Monaco – On 22 November 2021, it was reported that part of the Monégasque state budget has been reserved for participation in the 2023 contest.[84] However, the plans were delayed because Monaco's new television channel, Monte-Carlo Riviera TV, is scheduled to launch around June to September 2023 instead of initially outlined period of late 2022.[85] Monaco last took part in 2006.
  •  North Macedonia – On 10 May 2022, Macedonian broadcaster MRT stated that due to the reporting on the Macedonian flag incident, which occurred prior to the 2022 contest, they are considering a withdrawal from the event in 2023.[86] In June 2022, MRT's editor of artistic and cultural programming and head of the Macedonian delegation, Meri Popova, proposed a series of recommendations to improve the country's future results in the contest, and MRT's programming council unanimously agreed to the proposals.[87] However, an official confirmation of participation in 2023 is still pending.
  •  Romania – On 20 May 2022, Romanian broadcaster TVR stated that the country is considering withdrawal from the contest, after the EBU's response to irregular voting patterns from six national juries the previous year, including those of Romania.[88] The next day, Dan Cristian Turturică, the president and CEO of TVR, expressed his support for Romania's possible withdrawal.[89] On 23 May, TVR opened a referendum on their website asking if Romania should still participate in the contest,[90] in which the majority of respondents answered that their country should continue participating in Eurovision.[91]
  •  Slovakia – On 10 June 2022, Slovak broadcaster RTVS initially stated that the country would not return to the contest in 2023, citing financial constraints and low viewing figures during their time in the contest.[92] However, it was later clarified that they may still consider returning to the contest after the election of their new Director-General, with a final decision expected to be made by August.[93] On 30 June, Ľuboš Machaj was elected as the new Director-General of RTVS, replacing the incumbent Jaroslav Rezník.[94] A decision on Eurovision participation is pending. Slovakia last took part in 2012.

Non-EBU members

  •  Kosovo – On 16 May 2022, the Director-General of Kosovan broadcaster RTK Shkumbin Ahmetxhekaj stated that the broadcaster is aiming to apply for EBU membership at the end of the year and confirmed that should RTK gain EBU membership, Kosovo would be able to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest.[95]
