Coming as little surprise, Graham Norton is the frontrunner to host Eurovision 2023, but who else is in the running?

This will be the ninth time the event has taken place in the UK – more than any other country – after organisers, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), decided the event could not be held in the war-torn Ukraine following the Russian invasion.

This was despite Ukrainian entry Kalush Orchestra triumphing at this year’s competition in Turin, Italy, with the UK’s Sam Ryder the runner-up.

While you might have your own idea of who you would like to see taking the mic next year’s European musical extravaganza, Betvictor has released its list of Eurovision host favourites it might be worth a punt on.

Who will host Eurovision 2023?

With the five-time BAFTA TV Award winner as the bookies’ favourite, here are Betvictor’s odds for everyone in with a decent shot of hosting Eurovision 2023.

Graham Norton – 1/6

Rylan Clark-Neal – 8/15

Scott Mills – 5/1

Ant & Dec – 6/1

Tickets to Eurovision 2023

While nothing has yet been confirmed, it's likely there will be a long wait before anyone can get hold of tickets for Eurovision 2023.

Tickets for this year's shows, including the semi-finals and grand final, didn't go on sale until April 7, just before the first event in May, so it is likely next year will have a similar timescale.

Pricing will vary depending on which ticket category you want and of course which show you would lik to attend.

This years prices ranged from as low as €20 for certain Jury Show tickets up to as much as €350 for a seat at the live final.

There is likely to be buying restrictions on tickets to make it fairer this might include names on tickets only permitted to be changed once and any reselling going through an official platform.
