The Belgian entry for the 2014 contest in Copenhagen, Denmark was selected through the national final Eurosong 2014, organised by the Flemish broadcaster Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroeporganisatie (VRT).

In the final on 16 March 2014, "Mother" performed by Axel Hirsoux was selected as the winner via the votes of seven international jury groups and a public televote.

[1] Since then, the country has won the contest on one occasion in 1986 with the song "J'aime la vie" performed by Sandra Kim.

The Belgian participation in the contest alternates between two broadcasters: the Flemish VRT and the Walloon Radio Télévision Belge de la Communauté Française (RTBF).

On 3 June 2013, VRT confirmed Belgium's participation in the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest and announced that the Eurosong national final would be held to select their entry.

The competition consisted of seven shows that commenced on 2 February 2014 and concluded with a final on 16 March 2014 where the winning song and artist were selected.

The top four as determined by jury directly qualified to the semi-finals, while the fifth to eighth placed acts advanced to the Call Back round.

[5] The Call Back round took place on 16 February 2014 where an additional four artists as determined by an expert jury and public televoting qualified to the semi-finals.

[9][10] Sixteen songs were selected from those received during the submission period and matched with the artists that advanced from the casting shows.

[11] The jury panel that selected both the artists and songs for the competition consisted of Bart Peeters, Piet Goddaer, Jef Martens and Ruslana.

[12] The four artists that failed to advance from the Call Back round to the semi-finals (Jessy, Joyce, Mr. Jones and White Bird) were also matched with a candidate Eurovision song but did not perform them during the competition.

[7] The winner, "Mother" performed by Axel Hirsoux, was selected by the combination of results from seven international jury groups and a public televote.

VRT broadcast the shows on één and Radio 2 with commentary in Dutch by Peter Van de Veire and Eva Daeleman.

[35] RTBF televised the shows on La Une with commentary in French by Jean-Louis Lahaye and Maureen Louys.

The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency.

This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.
