Voting has commenced for Poland to select its representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Vienna, Austria.
Voting has now opened on TVP VOD to select the Polish entry for the 70th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. Those with a TVP VOD account can vote up to three times between today and March 5 at 17:00 CET.

Poland in the Eurovision Song Contest+
Poland debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994 alongside a number of other Eastern European countries. Their debut year saw their best result to date in the contest, as Edyta Górniak finished in 2nd place with her song “To nie ja!”. Following this, Poland failed to repeat this initial success, only managing to achieve a top 10 finish on two other occasions since their debut. Since their return in 2014, they have been considerably more successful in the contest, having qualified for the final 7 times out of 11 attempts.
