Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest

Belgium is set to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden. The Walloon broadcaster Radio Télévision Belge de la Communauté Française (RTBF) internally selected Mustii as the Belgian entrant for the contest.

Background

Prior to the 2024 contest, Belgium has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest sixty-four times since its debut as one of seven countries to take part in 1956, only missing the 1994, 1997 and 2001 editions.[1] Since then, the country has won the contest on one occasion in 1986 with the song "J'aime la vie", performed by Sandra Kim. Following the introduction of semi-finals for 2004, Belgium has featured in nine finals. In 2023, Gustaph represented the nation with the song "Because of You", qualifying for the final and ultimately placing 7th.[1]

The Belgian participation in the contest alternates between two broadcasters: the Flemish Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroeporganisatie (VRT) and the Walloon Radio Télévision Belge de la Communauté Française (RTBF). Both broadcasters have selected the Belgian entry using national finals and internal selections in the past. For the 2024 contest, RTBF is responsible for organising the selection process for the Belgian entry. On 16 August 2023, the broadcaster confirmed its intention to participate in the event, opting for an internal selection.[2]
