The first semifinal of the Eesti Laul will reach the audience from the Saku Suurhall in Tallinn, where ten songs will compete. Five of these will advance to the finals on February 12.

Four winners will be determined by 'phone voting and jury scores; the last winner will be determined by telephone voting alone.

In addition to the Eesti Laul contestants, previous years' entrants Tanja, Suured tüdrukud and Caater will perform on stage in the first semi-final, and the jury will also offer a musical surprise this year.

The live show will be hosted by Maarja-Liis Ilus and Priit Loog, and will be joined by a third presenter from the field of artists.

The semi-finals will take place this year without an audience, and live broadcasts will be available on national broadcasting channels.

The semi-finals starting at 7.30 p.m. will be available on the TV channels ETV and ETV +, the ERR.ee portal and ERR's Jupiter streaming service.

At 9 p.m. Estonian time, the live broadcast will take place at the Saku Suurhall, which will be hosted by Heleri All and Jüri Muttika and shown by ETV2. Eesti Laul will be broadcast to radio listeners starting at 7 p.m on Radio 2.
