Poland will be represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, which will be held in Basel, Switzerland. The Polish participating broadcaster, Telewizja Polska (TVP), will organise the national final Wielki finał polskich kwalifikacji in order to select its entry for the contest.

Background

Main article: Poland in the Eurovision Song Contest

Prior to the 2025 contest, Telewizja Polska (TVP) had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest representing Poland twenty-six times since its first entry in 1994. Its highest placement in the contest, to this point, had been second place, achieved with its debut entry in 1994, "To nie ja!" performed by Edyta Górniak. It had only reached the top ten on two other occasions, when "Keine Grenzen – Żadnych granic" performed Ich Troje finished seventh in 2003, and when "Color of Your Life" performed by Michał Szpak finished eighth in 2016. Between 2005 and 2011 (except in 2008), and again between 2018 and 2021, it failed to qualify from the semi-final; additionally, TVP was absent from the contest in 2012 and 2013. Between 2014 and 2017, and again in 2022 and 2023, it managed instead to qualify to the final each year. In 2024, "The Tower" performed by Luna failed to qualify to the final.

As part of its duties as participating broadcaster, TVP organises the selection of its entry in the Eurovision Song Contest and broadcasts the event in the country. In 2022 and 2023, the broadcaster selected its entry for the contest through a national final show titled Tu bije serce Europy! Wybieramy hit na Eurowizję!, while in 2024 its entry was selected internally. TVP confirmed its participation in the 2025 contest on 8 November 2024, announcing that it would select its entry through a televised final.

Wielki finał polskich kwalifikacji ("The grand final of the Polish qualifications") is the national final format developed by TVP in order to select its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. The competition will take place on 14 February 2025 at the TVP Headquarters in Warsaw, hosted by Artur Orzech and broadcast on TVP2.

Competing entries

On 8 November 2024, TVP opened a submission period where artists and composers would be able to submit their entries for the competition until 4 December 2024; shortly before the closing, the deadline was extended until the following 8 December. Applicants were required to hold Polish citizenship for their entries to qualify to compete. At the closing of the window, 224 entries had been submitted.

The competing entries were selected by a jury panel with members appointed by TVP among music industry professionals and Eurovision fans. In the first phase of the process, 25 entries were shortlisted and performed at an audition round held on 19 December in Warsaw. Ten finalists (plus two backups) were selected from these based on the ten favourites of each jury member and announced on 14 January 2025; Sara James withdrew from the competition before the scheduled announcement and was replaced by Janusz Radek. The selection committee consisted of Anna Ceynowa, Anna Karna, Barbara Popiołek, Grzegorz Frątczak, Kamil Kozbuch, Karol Paciorek [pl], Konrad Szczęsny, Maciej Kancerek, Małgorzata Kosturkiewicz, Marcin Wojciechowski [pl], Paulina Sawicka, Paweł Karpiński [pl], Piotr Klatt [pl], Tomasz Sołowiński and Tycjana Acquasanta. Among the selected competing artists is Justyna Steczkowska, who represented Poland in the 1995 contest.
