Glasgow are the 4/5 favourites to host next year's Eurovision Song Contest
Glasgow are the 4/5 favourites to host next year's Eurovision Song Contest which is set to be held in the UK.
Bookmakers have already priced up various host cities for the 2023 Eurovision song contest and it's the Scottish city that are the favourites.
| Eurovision 2023 Host City | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Glasgow | 4/5 | 55.6% |
| Cardiff | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Belfast | 11/2 | 15.4% |
| Birmingham | 13/2 | 13.3% |
| Manchester | 7/1 | 12.5% |
Welsh capital Cardiff is the second favourite in the market, alongside Northern Ireland's capital Belfast.
Birmingham and Manchester round up the betting market, with London seemingly not on the cards to be the host city.
Glasgow is the favourite city to host the Eurovision Song Contest according to bookmakers, with odds of 4/5 to stage the event in 2023. This comes after the EBU decided to take host privileges off Ukraine due to the ongoing situation in the country.

EBU statement announced that winners Ukraine will not hold final next year
The European Broadcast Union has confirmed that Ukraine will not be hosting the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest.
This breaks the tradition of the winner of the Contest hosting the next year's event and is sadly due to the current circumstances happening in the country.
According to reports, discussions have begun between the EBU and the BBC around the UK's hosting of the event next year.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has since made a statement that next year's contest SHOULDN'T be held in the UK and that Ukraine should host it as they won it.
Of course Johnson may not even be the Prime Minister by the time next year's event takes place as seen in our blog here.
The UK are 10/1 to win next year's Eurovision Song Contest
Next year's Eurovision Song Contest potentially being held in the UK means that bookmakers already have specials around the event.
Sam Ryder smashed it at last year's Eurovision, coming second place to winners Ukraine with his song SPACE MAN.
| Eurovision Betting Specials | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom to win Eurovision 2023 | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| United Kingdom to come last at Eurovision 2023 | 14/1 | 6.7% |
The UK's recent history at the Eurovision Song Contest has been poor, with regular low scoring appearances at the yearly event.
Just two year's ago, the UK finished last with James Newman receiving 'nul points' with his song Embers.
The UK are 10/1 to win the Eurovision Song Contest next year for the first time in 25 years after Katrina and the Waves won it in 1997. On the other hand, the UK are 14/1 to finish rock bottom like they did last in 2021.
