The self-confessed Eurovision superfans will bring their insightful commentary to the final on May 13th, broadcasting live from the Liverpool Arena.
Rylan said: "Eurovision is my favourite time of the year, I cannot wait! And I’m so excited and absolutely buzzing to be hosting the Eurovision Grand Final on Radio 2, the biggest and best music event in the world, with my partner-in-crime Scott Mills.
"We can’t wait to bring listeners closer to the action than ever before, with all the fun, excitement and backstage gossip from what promises to be an unforgettable night."
Scott admitted it is an "ultimate childhood dream come true" to be presenting the spectacle on Radio 2.
He said: "I can’t begin to describe how excited I am to be presenting the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest on Radio 2.
"I’ve had the great pleasure of being involved with Eurovision in various ways over the years, from commentating alongside Graham Norton to singing karaoke with the contestants, but presenting from the Grand Final in Liverpool is the ultimate childhood dream come true.
"Rylan and I will be going all out so please come and join the party live on Radio 2!"
Radio 2 will also broadcast the Eurovision semi-finals for the first time, which Paddy O’Connell will present from the Arena, and Rylan and Scott will provide TV commentary.
Paddy said: "I’m walking on sunshine to join Radio 2 live in Liverpool hosting the Eurovision Semi-Finals.
"Sam Ryder broke the UK Eurovision spell last year and I hope it’s magic for Mae in 2023."
The UK is hosting the 2023 event on behalf of the 2022 winners, Ukraine, amid Russia's invasion of the country.
