Sweden has chosen its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026. Singer Felicia won Melodifestivalen 2026 with the song My System, earning the right to represent Sweden in Vienna, Austria this May.
The grand final took place on 7 March 2026 at the Strawberry Arena in Stockholm, with twelve acts competing for the ticket to Eurovision. The winner was determined through the traditional Melodifestivalen voting system: 50% international jury and 50% public televote.
Felicia emerged as the clear winner after receiving the highest combined score from both the juries and the Swedish public.
“My System” was written by Audun Agnar, Emily Harbakk, Felicia Eriksson, Julie Bergan, and Theresa Rex.
