The Belgian participating broadcaster, Flemish Belgische Radio- en Televisieomroep (BRT), selected its entry through a national final.

However, Dream Express protested this and a new format for Eurosong 1977 was created: Each group received their own programme, where three songs would be presented and two would qualify to the final.

After the announcement of the results, Dream Express fans stormed the stage and Luc Appermont struggled to close the show.
