Eurovision 2023 winner odds: What are the odds with bookmakers for who wins in Liverpool? What are the UK's chances of winning?
Sweden’s Loreen is returning to the stage at this year’s Eurovision for the first time since winning Eurovision in 2012 with hit anthem Euphoria.
But despite being the early frontrunner with bookmakers including Bet365, Unibet and Betfair Sport, the 39-year-old faces a serious challenge to lifting the trophy once again. Finland, in which act, rapper and singer Kaarija will perform the earworm Cha Cha Cha, leads a host of other countries vying for the prize.
Mae Muller will attempt to follow in Sam Ryder’s footsteps for the UK with her track I Wrote A Song, which features tongue-in-cheek lyrics about a cheating ex-boyfriend and a propulsive dance beat.
Ryder finished second last year behind Ukraine. The placing ultimately allowed the UK to host Eurovision after a war-torn Ukraine indicated it would not be able to hold the world’s biggest song contest for safety and security reasons.
Liverpool narrowly edged out Glasgow to earn hosting rights.

6. Norway
Norway's Alessandra will be the first singer to perform for the public at Tuesday night's first semifinal, kicking off proceedings in Liverpool. Her entry Queen of Kings is a foot-stomping spectacle and won early plaudits from qualification. She is priced at 20/1 to win with Bet365, but is at shorter odds of 10/1 with Skybet.

Noa Kirel, who will Israel, is among the acts who have entered ballads at this year's Eurovision Song Contest. She is at odds of 16/1 with Skybet to be crowned champion in Liverpool, but those odds lengthen with other bookmakers, with Paddy Power and William Hill having her placed at 25/1.
