One day after the conclusion of Austria's Got Talent VII, on 23 July 2017, ORF stated that they would not be calling for presenters as usual. Instead, they stated that they would propose hosting the show by contacting a presenter internally. On 14 August 2017, ORF announced that for the first time ever three presenters would host the competition.
== Location ==
On 23 July 2017, ORF announced that a new city would host the contest as usual.
== Format ==
On 23 July 2017, ORF announced that the eighth edition of Austria's Got Talent would be very much different than the previous Austria's Got Talent VII edition. The broadcaster announced the competition's format changes on a weekly basis leading up to the event.
Last edition, ORF decided to abstain from including any returning artists but due to this guaranteed at least one returnee a spot in [this edition]. ORF later confirmed this on 24 July 2017 that they would keep their word with the returnees. On 2 January 2018, they stated that the returnees were welcome to participate in the auditions and would be given equal treatment to new acts.
