The curtain opens tonight for Melodifestivalen 2024, with the first heat of this year’s Swedish national selection. Five heats and the grand final will keep us company from today until March 9, when we will officially find out the representative of Sweden in Eurovision 2024.
In tonight’s first semifinal, six entries claim the two tickets to the final, while two more entries will have the chance to compete in the final qualification round on March 2nd, after the fifth heat.

Two songs will directly qualify to the grand final of Melodifestivalen 2024, which will take place on the 9th of March. The songs that will place third and fourth will have a second chance to claim a ticket for the Grand Final, at the final qualification round, held on the 2nd of March, right away after the fifth heat. There will be five heats in total.
During the five heats, the final results will be determined solely by the votes of the Swedish viewers.
