United Kingdom at the Your Eurovision Song Contest


The United Kingdom has participated in Your Eurovision 16 times since its debut in May 2013. The British broadcaster, YE.UK, has been the organiser of the country's entry ever since its debut in the contest and has used an internal selection to select its entries.

 

The United Kingdom's first entry at the contest, Hurts, came 9th in the May 2013 edition. After a lot of high places, the United Kingdom finally won in Spring 2015, when Ellie Goulding took part for the second time.

 

The United Kingdom debuted in the rebooted series of Your Eurovision in Amsterdam 2020.2, after the constituent countries decided to participate seperately in the previous edition.
