Over recent years national finals have become a less and less popular option for selecting the Eurovision entries, however, in 2018, we are seeing a surge in countries opting for a national final.

The list of countries that are using a national final is growing bigger by the day, with nations such as Montenegro returning to a national final after 10 years and San Marino opting for a national final for the first time. We are going to have a National Final season like never before. Week after week filled with national final goodness that will keep us all on the edge of our seats!
