Just over a couple of months after closing the submissions in the search for its Eurovision 2025 representative, it has been announced that Czechia’s representative for Basel will be revealed on December 11.
The countdown has begun
The reveal of the Czech artist for Eurovision 2025 was revealed via the delegation’s social accounts, where a countdown has commenced.
As we have previously reported, the Czech song for 2025 will be selected through a mixture of Czech and international panels. A demoscopic jury will account for 40% of the decision, with an international jury making up another 40%. An internal panel at ČT will make up the remaining 20% and should there be a tie of any kind, ČT’s panel will have the final word.
Czechia’s Eurovision journey
Czechia made their debut in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2007, with Kabát’s “Malá dama”; however, their debut entry finished last in a 28-song semi-final, scoring only 1 point. This kicked off three consecutive non-qualifications, with their best result coming in 2008, finishing in second-last place. Having withdrawn in 2009 due to poor results, Czechia returned to the Contest in 2015. In 2016, Czechia qualified for the first time with Gabriela Gunciková’s “I Stand”.
Czechia opted for a national selection in 2024, ultimately choosing Aiko with the song “Pedestal”. “Pedestal” scored 38 points in the second semifinal, placing eleventh and just missing out on the Grand Final.
