When will the Eurovision 2023 host city be announced?

There are just two UK cities left in the running to host next year's Eurovision Song Contest.

Ukrainian entry Kalush Orchestra triumphed at the 2022 competition in Turin, Italy, but the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which produces the annual event, decided the show cannot be held in the country following Russia's invasion.

Either Liverpool or Glasgow will soon be crowned host of the 67th Eurovision Song Contest after the UK was given the chance to host the event for the ninth time - more than any other country - after Sam Ryder came second in the competition.

After the shortlist was whittled down on Tuesday, bookmakers adjusted their odds accordingly. Scotland's second city remains in the lead.

William Hill has Glasgow at 1/2, with Liverpool at 13/8. Meanwhile, Ladbrokes has Liverpool at 11/8, with Glasgow at 4/7.

But when will the winning city be announced?

While no official date has yet been given, we can probably expect to find out in the next few weeks. Ahead of this year's contest, Turin was announced as host city on October 8, 2021. If the announcement were to fall on the same date this year, it would mean Eurovision fans have just 11 days to wait.
