The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 is set to be the 67th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest.
Location
The 2022 contest was won by Ukraine, who would be invited to hold the following contest per Eurovision tradition.[1] This would be the third time Ukraine hosted the event, having previously done so in 2005 and 2017. However, in light of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, it has been speculated that an alternative country from the "Big Five" may be invited to host the 2023 contest.[2]
On 10 May 2022, Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported that the Mayor of Stockholm Anna König Jerlmyr has already made an offer to host Eurovision 2023 in the event that Ukraine is unable to host the event. One of the potential venues suggested by Jerlmyr would be the Avicii Arena, which has previously hosted the contest in 2000 and 2016.[3]
Provisional list of participating countries
As of 20 February 2022,[update] six countries have confirmed their intentions to participate in the 2023 contest:
Other countries
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.[4]
Active EBU members
Belgium – On 5 April 2022, website Eurovision Fun reported that Flemish broadcaster VRT has considered selecting their entry via national selection, however no confirmation has been made.[10]
Italy – On 4 March 2022, Eurovoix reported that Amadeus will continue to conduct the Sanremo Music Festival, which regularly doubles as the Italian national selection for Eurovision, until 2024, after hosting the 2020, 2021 and 2022 editions.[11] Furthermore, the dates for Sanremo have been released, to which the winner would be decided on 11 February 2023.[12] However, national broadcaster RAI has yet to confirm participation in the contest itself.
Monaco – On 22 November 2021, Eurovoix reported that part of the Monégasque state budget has been reserved for participation in the 2023 contest.[13] However, the national broadcaster TMC neither confirmed nor denied this. Monaco last took part in 2006.
North Macedonia – On 10 May 2022, Macedonian public broadcaster MRT stated that the broadcaster, due to the reporting on the Macedonian flag incident, is considering the withdrawal of the country from the event in 2023.[14]
Non-EBU members
Belarus – On 28 May 2021, the EBU Executive Board agreed to suspend the membership of Belarusian broadcaster BTRC as a result of the use of the channel by the Belarusian government as a propaganda tool. The broadcaster was given two weeks to respond before the suspension came into effect, but did not do so publicly.[15] BTRC was expelled from the EBU on 1 July for a period of three years, therefore losing the rights to broadcast and participate in any Eurovision event until 1 July 2024;[16] the broadcaster subsequently released a statement affirming that they would not be supporting Belarus' participation in upcoming years.[17][18] Belarus last took part in 2019, though they had intended to take part in 2020 and 2021.
Russia – On 25 February 2022, following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and increasing protests from other participating countries, the EBU announced that Russia would be excluded from the 2022 contest.[19] The day after, all EBU members from Russia, including VGTRK and Channel One, announced their withdrawal from the union; however, the EBU itself had yet to receive a confirmation.[20][21] On 1 March, a further statement from the EBU announced that it had suspended its Russian members from its governance structures.[22] Confirmation of withdrawal from the EBU will cause Russia to lose broadcasting and participation rights for future Eurovision events. Russia last took part in 2021, however they intended to participate in 2022, only to be disqualified due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
