The Netherlands participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool, United Kingdom, with "Burning Daylight" performed by Mia Nicolai and Dion Cooper. The Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS internally selected the Dutch entry for the 2023 contest. Nicolai and Cooper's appointment as the Dutch representative was announced on 1 November 2022, while the song, "Burning Daylight", was presented to the public on 1 March 2023.
The Netherlands was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 9 May 2023. Performing during the show in position 14, "Burning Daylight" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that the Netherlands placed thirteenth out of the 15 participating countries in the semi-final with 7 points.
