About Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest
Sweden has been represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 65 times since making its debut in 1958, missing only three contests since then (1964, 1970, and 1976). The current Swedish participating broadcaster in the contest is Sveriges Television (SVT), which select its entrant through the national competition Melodifestivalen. Sweden has hosted the contest seven times: three times in Stockholm (1975, 2000, 2016), three times in Malmö (1992, 2013, 2024) and one time in Gothenburg (1985). At the 1997 contest, Sweden was one of the first five countries to adopt televoting.
