The ESC 2023 comes up with its semi-finals and the grand final. But where can they actually be followed on TV and in the livestream? The overview.
Liverpool – Die-hard ESC fans have the dates in mind anyway and if you want to watch the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time in 2023, the following dates are recommended: The first ESC semi-final will be held on 9 May, followed by the second two days later, before the big ESC final in Liverpool on 13 May.
But where can the semi-final shows and the final of this year's ESC be watched at all? Which broadcasters will broadcast the music spectacle – and will there also be a livestream?
ESC 2023 on TV and live stream: Where will the semi-finals and the final be broadcast?
After the bankruptcies in recent years, Germany wants and needs to make amends at the ESC 2023. The great hopes rest on the dark rockers Lord of the Lost from Hamburg. In contrast to many other countries, Germany has qualified directly for the big ESC final in Liverpool – and does not have to qualify in the semi-finals for the decision on 13 May.

Of course, the two ESC semi-final shows on May 9 and 11 should not be ignored. After all, the final field of participants for May 13 will be determined here - and thus also which competition the mostly well-rested Lord of the Lost will ultimately have to face. The first ESC semi-final on 9 May will be broadcast live from 21:00 to 23:10 on ONE, in the ARD Mediathek and on ARD's official ESC website, eurovision.de. The same applies to the second ESC semi-final on 11 May.
ESC final 2023 in Liverpool will be broadcast on four platforms – Barbara Schöneberger will lead through the supporting programme
On a larger scale, the 2023 ESC final will then be broadcast from Liverpool. First of all, ARD is relying on the long-standing supporting programme "ESC - the Countdown", which, like the German ESC preliminaries, will be moderated by Barbara Schöneberger and will be broadcast from 20:15 p.m. on Das Erste, ONE as well as on eurovision.de and in the ARD Mediathek.
- 1st ESC semi-final: will be broadcast live on May 9 from 21:00 p.m. to 23:10 p.m. on ONE, in the ARD Mediathek and on eurovision.de
- 2st ESC semi-final: will be broadcast live on May 11 from 21:00 p.m. to 23:10 p.m. on ONE, in the ARD Mediathek and on eurovision.de
- "ESC – the Countdown": will be broadcast live on May 13 from 20:15 p.m. to 20:55 p.m. on ARD, ONE, ARD Mediathek and eurovision.de
- ESC final: will be broadcast live on May 13 from 21:00 p.m. to 0:45 a.m. on ARD, ONE, ARD Mediathek and eurovision.de
- "ESC – the Aftershow": will be broadcast live on May 13 from 0:45 a.m. to 1:15 a.m. on ARD, ONE, ARD Mediathek and eurovision.de
This is also the case with the ESC final, which probably consists of a duel, which lasts from 21:00 p.m. to 0:45 a.m. and can be followed live on ARD, among other things. This will be followed immediately by the show "ESC – the Aftershow", also moderated by Barbara Schöneberger. This can also be seen on Das Erste, on ONE, on eurovision.de and in the ARD Mediathek.
Final of the ESC 2023 live on ARD – "Countdown" and "Aftershow" also available in Switzerland and Austria
By the way: For the first time, spectators from Germany, Austria and Switzerland can get in the mood for the ESC final together. The two supporting programmes of the final, which will be broadcast from the Tate Museum in Liverpool, will be broadcast simultaneously on Das Erste, ORF 1 and SRF 1.
