Sweden are one of the sixteen countries to have made their debut at the inaugural Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2003, which took place on 15 November 2003 at the Forum in Copenhagen, Denmark.

[3] In the 2006 contest, the first under TV4's control, Sweden would achieve their best result in the JESC, finishing in 3rd place with Molly Sandén's song "Det finaste någon kan få".

[8] On 29 June 2015, it was announced that SVT, the Swedish national broadcaster, would withdraw for one year and thus not compete for Sweden in the forthcoming contest in Bulgaria.

[10] In May 2023, the EBU talked about how they can work to remove pressure on the participants from Junior Eurovision for the first time since 2005 in hopes that the Nordic broadcasters, including SVT, would approve.

[11] Later that year in October, the EBU launched a child safety and protection protocol that aims to remove pressure, in hopes of bringing back the Nordic countries in 2024 and beyond.

In 2015, the online broadcasts featured commentary in English by junioreurovision.tv editor Luke Fisher and 2011 Bulgarian Junior Eurovision Song Contest entrant Ivan Ivanov.
