Music fans can thank Eurovision for launching the careers of ABBA, Celine Dion, Olivia Newton-John and Måneskin. Now in its 67th edition, the annual European song contest is the longest-running TV competition in history (it debuted in 1956), but you don’t need to be on the continent to watch the world’s next music star.
Ukrainian folk-rap group Kalush Orchestra won 2022’s showdown with their song, “Stefania,” and Italian rock outfit Måneskin won the 2021 event with their song, “Zitti E Buoni.” (The 2020 event was canceled due to the pandemic.) While Eurovision’s tradition means that the winning country hosts the following year’s event, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) announced that Ukraine was unable to safely host the 2023 song contest due to the Russian invasion. This year’s competition will instead be hosted by the runner-up in Liverpool, England, on Ukraine’s behalf.
Below, find out everything you need to know about how to stream Eurovision online in the U.S. and in Europe.

How to Watch Eurovision 2023 Online in the U.S.
The semifinals and grand final can be streamed live on Peacock and on Eurovision’s YouTube channel in select regions. Olympic ice skating star Johnny Weir will host the streamer’s telecast with commentary and analysis of the big event.
Peacock costs $5 per month for the ad-supported Premium plan or $10 monthly for the ad-free Premium Plus tier. (Save 17 percent with annual billing, which is $50 or $100, respectively.) Both packages include next-day access to NBC and Bravo series, more than 80,000 hours of TV episodes and movies (including Cocaine Bear, Poker Face, Bel-Air, That ’70s Show, M3GAN and Oscar-nominated film Tár), more than 50 channels and live sports (including MLB Sunday Leadoff, Premier League, Sunday Night Football and WWE).
However, only the Premium Plus subscribers can watch their local NBC channel live, download select titles to watch offline later and enjoy an ad-free experience. New Peacock subscribers can also watch Eurovision 2023 for free with the streaming service’s seven-day trial.
You can also watch Eurovision 2023 in the U.S. through cable or a live TV streaming subscription that carries the BBC. The U.K. network is available on DirecTV, Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, Sling and YouTube TV.
