The Albanian entry for next year's Eurovision Song Contest will be chosen 16th December 2006. Just like the last three times, there will be two semi finals, to be held on 14th and 15th December.

For the fourth time, the Festival i Kenges is going to select the Albanian representative for the Eurovision Song Contest. The shows (2 semi-finals and a final) will take place at the Palast of Congress in Tirana. Previously the winner was always decided by televoting (50%) and an 'expert' jury (50%), which makes that system likely to be used again.

In 2006, Albania failed to qualify for the final, having placed 14th in the semi final with Zjarr e ftohtë performed by Luiz Ejlli. Therefore, Albania will have to enter the semi final again in 2007.
