The Czech Republic, presented as Czechia from 2023, has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 10 times since making its debut in 2007. After receiving nul points in the semi-final of the 2009 contest and due to a lack of interest from the Czech public, Czech broadcaster Česká televize (ČT) decided not to participate in future contests.
ČT announced their return to the contest in 2015, with an internal selection being used to select their fourth Eurovision entry.
In 2016, Gabriela Gunčíková became the first Czech entrant to reach the final, finishing 25th with the song “I Stand”.
After the country failed to qualify in 2017, Mikolas Josef became the second Czech entrant to reach the final and the first to reach the top ten, placing sixth in 2018 with the song “Lie to Me”.
In 2019, Czech band Lake Malawi finished eleventh, achieving the country’s second best result in the contest. The third best result was achieved in 2022 by the band We Are Domi, finishing 22nd.
