The Eurovision Song Contest Song Contest has become annual event television for Americans despite the country’s permanent spectator status. Luckily, the 2023 iteration of the long-running, international music competition will be accessible to stream anywhere in the US via Peacock for a third consecutive year. Considering the high bar set in 2022 by Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra, the reigning champions who spent their winnings on military drones, as well as this year’s Frankie Goes to Hollywood reunion at the opening weekend festivities, Eurovision 2023 is primed to be yet another must-see exhibition.
Find all the details about Eurovision 2023 below, including when and where to tune in, and who’s hosting and performing.
