Background

Which Semi-Final is your favourite country competing in? The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 Semi-Final Allocation Draw took place in St George’s Hall, Liverpool, alongside a ceremony which saw the Host City insignia pass from previous hosts Turin to our British friends.

The Draw was broadcast on the official Eurovision YouTube channel and, in the United Kingdom, BBC TWO and the BBC streaming service iPlayer.

Hosted by AJ Odudu and Rylan, the Semi-Finals lineups were determined randomly by drawing countries from 6 pots (countries are placed in each pot according to previous voting patterns) to determine in which Semi-Final (and which half of that show) they would compete in.

The ‘Big 5’ countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) do not compete in the Semi-Finals, nor will Ukraine this year as reigning champions, but it was randomly decided which of the two Semi-Finals each country will be able to vote on. The exact running order will be decided by producers at a later date.
