The Belgian participating broadcaster, Flemish Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroeporganisatie (VRT), selected its entry for the contest through the national final Eurosong '06.

In the final on 19 February 2006, "Je t'adore" performed by Kate Ryan was selected as the winner via the votes of seven jury groups and a public televote.

Performing during the show in position 7, "Je t'adore" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final.

In 2005, "Le grand soir" performed by Nuno Resende placed twenty-second in the semi-final and failing to advance to the final.

On 19 June 2005, VRT –who had the turn– confirmed its participation in the 2006 contest and announced that the Eurosong '06 national final would be held to select its entry.

The competition consisted of seven shows that commenced on 8 January 2006 and concluded with a final on 19 February 2006 where the winning song and artist were selected.

This team consisted of stylists Lien Degol and Jani Kazaltzis, choreographer Marvin Smith and advertiser Peter Ampe.

An additional two entries were awarded wildcards by the expert jury from the remaining non-qualifying acts in the heats to proceed to the semi-finals.

[21] The promotional tour also featured television and radio appearances in Cyprus, Germany, Latvia, Sweden and Switzerland, and was financially supported by Flemish Minister of Culture Bert Anciaux and Kate Ryan's record company EMI with each of them allocating a subsidy of €60,000.
