2023 Eurovision Song Contest: Here’s when your favorite country is performing

The Eurovision Song Contest is the biggest and brightest music competition in the world. Organized by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the contest pits various European countries (and Australia, who joined in 2015 as part of the competition’s 60th edition) against each other, who have to qualify via one of two semi-finals.

The top 10 in each semi-final then go through to the final, where they are joined by the host country (the winner of the previous year) and the Big Five (UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, and France) — who all qualify automatically. Then, each country performs and vies for votes.

After the performances, every member of the EBU dials in and dishes out 1-8, 10, and 12 points to their favorite songs – with the points decided via a combination of public votes and jury decisions in each country. Whichever country amasses the most points wins.

However, we don’t actually know the full roster for the final, which takes place on May 13, just yet as the semi-finals (May 9 and 11) haven’t taken place yet. Instead, we know the 37 countries’ entries to this year’s competition as they compete to get into that elusive final. Here’s a full rundown of every one of those countries’ songs.
