Poland will choose its representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 with a national final, which is scheduled to be held in February.

Since its comeback to Eurovision 2014, Poland became a true Eurovision nation with 100% qualifying to the final. The Polish representative was chosen internally in 2014-15 and the traditional national final was re-introduced in 2016, causing lots of drama as Michał Szpak won over fan-favourites Margaret and Edyta Górniak. With lots of support from the Polish nation, he went on to finish 8th in the Eurovision Song Contest, which is Poland’s third best placing so far (Following 2nd in 1994 and 7th in 2003).

Full details regarding the selection will be published by the Polish broadcaster TVP shortly.
