About the 2023 national competition:
The 95th Scripps National Spelling Bee will be held May 30-June 1, 2023, at the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland. More than 7 million people watched last year's national finals on ION and Bounce, which are part of Scripps’ portfolio of free, over-the-air national networks, as well as streaming channels owned by Scripps Networks. The 2023 broadcast and streaming schedule will be available early next year.
The Bee is the nation's longest-running educational competition, having launched in 1925. The E.W. Scripps Company is the longtime steward of the competition.
