Get set to be 'United by Music', from this year's magical contestants to the the power of last year's winners, Kalush Orchestra, who are returning to join the fun as Eurovision 2023 unfolds - and you can watch it all on SBS and SBS On Demand.
This year’s contest, hosted in Liverpool on behalf of 2022 winners Ukraine, will see Voyager competing for Australia. (And we'll have an extra reason to cheer this year too, with Andrew Lambrou, an Australia singer with Cypriot heritage, representing Cyprus). The 'United by Music' theme chosen for this year's competition reflects the partnership between the UK and Ukraine, with the colours used this year also inspired by the two countries' flags, and "the joy and diversity of the contest".
All that joy will be broadcast LIVE from Wednesday 10 to Sunday 14 May at 5:00am on SBS and SBS On Demand, with the prime time broadcasts from Friday 12 – Sunday 14 May at 7:30pm on SBS and SBS On Demand. (See below for full details).
