The current Swedish participant broadcaster in the contest is Sveriges Television (SVT), which select its entrant through the national competition Melodifestivalen.

After finishing second with "Nygammal vals" performed by Lill Lindfors and Svante Thuresson in 1966, Sweden went on to achieve its seven victories with "Waterloo" by ABBA (1974), "Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley" by Herreys (1984), "Fångad av en stormvind" by Carola (1991), "Take Me to Your Heaven" by Charlotte Nilsson (1999), "Euphoria" by Loreen (2012), "Heroes" by Måns Zelmerlöw (2015), and "Tattoo" by Loreen (2023).

Sveriges Radio (SR) is a full member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), thus eligible to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest.

Carola returned to the contest in 1991, eventually giving Sweden its third win with "Fångad av en stormvind", defeating France in a tie-break.

The delegation, whose size can greatly vary, includes a head of press, the performers, songwriters, composers, and backing vocalists, among others.
