ČT has confirmed that it will announce the artist who will represent Czechia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in January 2026. Eight performers remain in the running.
260 submissions
The broadcaster previously opened an open call for songs, receiving 260 submissions. Those entries are now being reviewed, and both public feedback and expert input will shape the final decision, similar to the approach used in Czechia’s selection last year.
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 Having withdrawn in 2009 due to poor results, Czechia returned to the Contest in 2015.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 reverted to an internal selection for 2025, selecting ADONXS with “Kiss Kiss Goodbye”. The song scored 29 points in the second semifinal, placing twelfth and missing out on the Grand Final for the second consecutive year.
