This year’s Melodi Grand Prix will emulate last year’s formula, whereby three qualification heats will take place on the 15th, 22nd and 29th of January. The two top placed acts in terms of televotes will proceed directly to the grand final to be broadcast from Oslo Spektrum on the 12th of February. The two next best placed acts will then advance to the last chance round to be broadcast from Sarpsborg on the 5th of February.
