The winners of the competition, Marcus & Martinus with "Unforgettable", represented Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 on home soil in Malmö, where they finished in ninth place.

Melodifestivalen 2024 saw six weekly shows held in six Swedish cities (namely Malmö, Gothenburg, Växjö, Eskilstuna, Karlstad and Stockholm).

[3][4] The winner of the final was determined by the usual 50/50 combination of votes from the public and an international jury.

Anders Wistbacka [sv], project manager for the event, anticipated on 12 January 2024 that several further format changes would be implemented.

Addressing the topic, Karin Gunnarson, Melodifestivalen producer and artistic director, clarified that there were no plans to introduce a similar rule in the Swedish competition in the immediate future.

[3][9] Upon closing the submission period, SVT announced that 2,624 applications had been received, from which 15 competing entries were selected by a professional jury chaired by producer Karin Gunnarsson; the second set of 15 contestants was instead selected by a dedicated SVT board both from the received submissions and by direct invitation of artists.

[20] A medley of past Melodifestivalen entries composed by Fredrik Kempe was performed as an interval act.

[23] The live stream of the show on SVT Play was available with English commentary by William Lee Adams and Bella Qvist.
