Eurovision Song Contest's host city odds reveal Leeds' chance of winning bid

With the UK officially confirmed as the host country for the next Eurovision Song Contest, talk has already turned to which city could hold the competition. The BBC announced that they will broadcast next year's contest on behalf of the 2022 competition's winners, Ukraine, after they were forced to withdraw earlier this year.

Revealing the news earlier today (July 25) Eurovision explained that the host city for the 2023 song contest will be decided in the coming months. The bidding process will be launched this week, with many of the UK's biggest cities expected to apply.

As it currently stands, London and Manchester are the frontrunners to host the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest, with Birmingham following close behind. There's still hope for Yorkshire though, as Leeds and Sheffield are tied with Newcastle, Liverpool and Leeds with odds of 10/1 to win Eurovision hosting duties.
