Sweden’s biggest music competition is attracting more attention than ever. SVT announced that 3,888 songs have been submitted for Melodifestivalen 2026, marking an all-time record in the history of the contest.


Over the coming months, a professional jury will review the submissions and narrow them down to the entries that will compete in the televised shows starting early next year. As always, the selection will aim to strike a balance between new talents, experienced artists, and a wide range of genres.

With the record-breaking number of entries, anticipation is already building for what promises to be a spectacular edition of Melodifestivalen. Fans can expect surprises, big-name comebacks, and perhaps the next Eurovision winner emerging from the Swedish stage.
