The Czech Republic is one of the few remaining countries that has not already participated in the contest. They have intentions to enter for 2007 and its more than likely that they will make their debut at the contest on May 10th, in Helsinki.

Originally they wanted to participate in 2005 but eventually withdrew because there were already two big events planned that year on Czech television.

One year later they didn't apply because their candidate had to start in the semi final, so they weren't sure that there would be a Czech entrant in the final on Saturday.

However, on 19 April 2006, the Czech national Broadcaster stated that they would enter the contest in 2007.

The first ever Czech entrant was chosen in TV final through SMS - it is one of the most popular Czech rock bands, Kabát, with the song Malá dama (Little Lady).

The Eurovision Song Contest broadcaster for the Czech Republic is Česká televize.

Eurovision will be known as Eurosong in Czech.
