After three heats, the Hungarian selection A Dal 2016 is going to the semifinal phase. Out of 30 entries, only 18 have managed to qualify to this phase. Nine songs will participate in every semifinal, and the best 4, decided by jury and televoting, will qualify to the final that will be held on 27 February.

A Dal’s jury, Pierrot, Zséda, Károly Frenreisz and Miklós Both will each give a rank of 1-10 for each song. The viewers, voting by telephone, SMS or app, will give another 1-10 rank to the songs and take the role of the fifth jury member. The top three will qualify directly to the final, while the other six entries will go through a second round of televotes, where the winner will join the final lineup.
