A Czech Television jury will invite 7 artists to participate, based on their performance in the previous year's IFPI Radio 50 charts, as well as taking into account a public vote.. Three wildcards will be invited by the Czech Television. Each song will be promoted by its perfomers and one famous person. Fans can vote until 10th of March when the first ever Czech representative will be known!

As a new participant to the Contest, the Czech Republic would have to qualify via the semi-final, to take place on 10 May in Helsinki.
