Melodifestivalen 02

Melodifestivalen 02 is the second edition of Melodifestivalen, the Swedish preselection for the fourth edition of the World Eurovision Song Contest. It is organised by Sveriges Television (SVT) and took place over a six-day period between 16 March 2018 till 21 March 2018. The auditions took place from 3 March 2018 till 10 March 2018.

The format of the competition consists of an auditions round with 50 songs, but only 28 songs can go through the 6 live shows: 4 semi-final rounds, a second chance round and a final. The 28 competing entries were divided into four semi-finals, with seven songs in each semi-final. From each semi-final, the songs that earn first and second place qualify directly to the final, while the songs that place third and fourth proceed to the Second Chance round. The bottom three songs in each semi-final will be eliminated from the competition. An additional four entries qualify from the Second Chance round to the final, bringing the total number of competing entries in the final to 12. All of the 6 liveshows will be hosted by David Lindgren.
