North Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest

North Macedonia has been represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 21 times since its debut in 1998. The country had attempted to participate in 1996, but failed to qualify from the audio-only qualifying round. The Macedonian participating broadcaster in the contest is Macedonian Radio Television (MRT).
Having qualified from the semi-final round only once in ten of the previous eleven contests (2008–2018), North Macedonia achieved its best result to date in 2019, when "Proud" by Tamara Todevska qualified and finished in seventh place in the final after winning the jury vote; previously, its best result was with "Ninanajna" performed by Elena Risteska in 2006. Following a further two non-qualifications, MRT opted out of participating from 2023 to 2026. The country is set to return to the 2027 contest in Bulgaria.
