37 countries will participate in the Eurovision Song Contest, and the 2023 event will have global significance since the UK is hosting the event on behalf of 2022 winner Ukraine. The 2023 contest will be produced by a unique collaboration between the BBC and the the Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine (UA-PBC), with the stadium, Liverpool locations and film footage specially adapted to showcase Ukrainian culture, people, art and famous locations.
