Hungary has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest seven times (five times in the Grand Final and twice in a Qualification). The first participation would have been Andrea Szulák's in 1993 but a Kvalifikacija za Millstreet
qualification round
was just installed for former Eastern Block countries and she did not manage to qualify to the Grand Final.

The first real participation was Friderika Bayer's back in 1994 (see ESC1994). After three rounds of voting the Hungarian entry had taken the top mark each time and was well ahead, however, afterwards the song got weaker votes and in the end it ended up in a credible fourth place. It made Hungary the only debuting nation to lead the voting.The 1995 entry was not as successful, garnering only 3 points, narrowly beating last placed Germany. In 1996 Hungary suffered another qualification lost when Gjon Delhusa's song didn't make it through the pre-qualification round.

Hungary began a hiatus from the competition after the 1998 contest, returning in 2005 when they reached a 12th place in the final with NOX. Hungary however announced not to participate again in 2006, although it returned to the contest in 2007 with Magdi Rúzsa, the winner of the 3rd season of Megasztár (Hungarian Idol). She came 9th in Helsinki.

The Eurovision Song Contest is broadcasted on Magyar Televízió.
