SMRTV to bring San Marino Song Contest back for 2027
San Marino is already eyeing up its next Superstar! Broadcaster SMRTV has revealed that its song for the 71st Eurovision Song Contest will be chosen on Saturday 6 March.
On the night of the San Marino Song Contest final, 20 songs will compete for the win, with 10 of them to be internally selected by SMRTV and another 10 to have come through the two semi-finals that will precede the Saturday night showdown.

The two semi-finals of San Marino Song Contest will be held on 3 and 4 March, and will each have 20 songs performed in contention for those coveted slots in the final.
The 40 semi-finalists will be selected through Dreaming San Marino, a separate contest organised by SMRTV. During this round, auditions will be held throughout October and November, before a ‘Stage & Live Academy’ round whittles the hopefuls down to the San Marino Song Contest semi-final songs you’ll hear in March.
The submission window for songs is already open and interested musicians can find out more information on SMRTV’s website.
