Back in September, ERR – Estonia's public broadcaster – announced that next year's edition will feature three live shows: two semi-finals and a final in January and February 2023.

With the lineup revealed, we're now only missing the songs that will be officially released on 2 December.

Eesti Laul 2023

Three shows will be held at Eesti Laul 2023, with a total of 20 songs:

  • Semi-final 1: 12 January 2023
  • Semi-final 2: 14 January 2023
  • Final: 11 February 2023

Ten songs will compete in each of the two semi-finals, and in each semi-final there will be two rounds of voting. In the first round, the result will be determined by a jury's vote and televoting by the television viewers; and in the second round by televoting by the television viewers. If ERR decides, statistics from users' internet engagement may also be utilized as a factor in the first round results.

In the Final, 12 songs will compete in two rounds. In the first round, a jury and televoting will decide which songs advance to the superfinal. The winner of Eesti Laul will be decided entirely by televoting in the superfinal.
