Sweden’s Eurovision Journey
In 1958, Sweden made their debut in the Eurovision Song Contest, with Alice Babs representing them with the song “Lilla stjärna” which placed fourth. Since their debut, the Scandinavian nation has managed to win seven times (1974, 1984, 1991, 1999, 2012, 2015 and 2023).
In 2026, Sweden were represented by FELICIA, singing “My System”. At the close of voting in the grand final, she had received 51 points, finishing in 20th place. 35 points were given by the juries, while she received 16 points by televoters.
