The location in the UK for 2023 is set to be chosen in the coming months, with a bidding process expected to be launched this week. There is also a contribution from the host city, either financially or 'in kind' such as covering expenses and then funding through commercial revenue from sponsorship agreements, ticket sales, voting and merchandise. There is also a payment by the host broadcaster - in this case the BBC - of between £8million and £17million, which organisers say depends on 'local circumstances and available resources'.

The event is mostly funded by contributions from the participating broadcasters, which adds up to £5.3million combined and varies for each country. The UK has won Eurovision a total of five times since it began in 1956. That contest came after Katrina and the Waves won with 'Love Shine a Light' in Dublin the previous year, which remains the last time Britain was victorious. The BBC, as national broadcaster of the UK, which was the runner-up this year with Sam Ryder's Space Man, was invited to act as host – and the corporation confirmed today that it would hold what will be the 67th contest. The event normally draws a television audience of about 200million and was last held in Britain in Birmingham in 1998. The decision to rule out Ukraine as the 2023 host prompted its culture minister Oleksandr Tkachenko to issue a statement 'demanding to change the decision', while UA:PBC also expressed its 'disappointment' at the time.

The Ukrainian entry, Kalush Orchestra, won the annual competition just over two months ago in an emotional victory in Turin, Italy, on May 14 and it is traditional that the winning country hosts the event the following year.īut the European Broadcasting Union said last month that it had concluded after a study that the 'security and operational guarantees' required to host the event could not be fulfilled by Ukraine's public broadcaster UA:PBC. Britain will host the Eurovision Song Contest next year on behalf of Ukraine, organisers confirmed today after concluding that the war-torn country could not hold the event for 'safety and security reasons'.
