Following Malta’s songs revelation a few days ago, it’s time to listen and form opinions for the full versions of Hungary’s national selection process. The country’s A Dal shows are all set to begin with the first heat round on 20 January and conclude with the Grand Final on 24 February.

You may listen to the full versions of all entries here. MTVA is yet to announce which songs will partake in each of the three scheduled heats.

News presenter Krisztina Rátonyi and the Hungarian 2016 Eurovision hopeful Freddie will assume duties of hosting all A Dal 6 shows, which consist of 3 heats, 2 semi-finals and the Grand Final, which will determine the lucky winner who will defend his nation’s colours in the Portuguese capital next May.

A Dal 2018 timetable

• 20/1: Heat 1
• 27/1: Heat 2
• 3/2: Heat 3
• 10/2: Semi-final 1
• 17/2: Semi-final 2
• 24/2: Grand Final

Each heat round will feature 10 entries and only 5 them will be making it to the semi-finals. In each semi-final, an additional 6th song will compete, which will be saved by the televoting process.

Afterwards, 3 songs from each semi-final will qualify to the next round and one more from the public. Therefore, a total of 8 acts is going to appear at the Grand Final. The 4-member jury will shortlist them to 4, whilst the final winner will be determined entirely by televoting.

Let’s see, who’s gonna win it?
