Felicia won Melodifestivalen 2026 Saturday night, securing Sweden's representation at Eurovision 2026 with the song "My System." The final took place at Strawberry Arena in Stockholm and was hosted by Gina Dirawi and Hampus Nessvold.
Felicia Agneta Eriksson, a 24-year-old artist and songwriter from Stockholm, prevailed after six weeks of competition involving 30 songs across multiple shows. She received the highest scores from both the international jury panel of eight juries and Swedish televoting. Greczula finished second, and Medina placed third.
"My System" was written by Audun Agnar, Emily Harbakk, Felicia Eriksson, Julie Bergan, and Theresa Rex. The song had already demonstrated strong support during the competition, winning the final audience poll at the jury show held Friday night in Stockholm, where Felicia scored 161 votes out of 620 cast by attendees.
Felicia previously performed under the stage name Fröken Snusk, under which she gained wide recognition in Sweden and achieved major streaming success with songs in the EPA-dunk genre. The song "Rid mig som en dalahäst" became one of the most streamed songs in Sweden in 2022.
Twelve finalists competed in Saturday's final. A*Teens opened the show with "Iconic," while Brandsta City Släckers closed the program with "Rakt in i elden." Other finalists included Meira Omar with "Dooset Daram," Lilla Al-Fadji with "Delulu," Saga Ludvigsson with "Ain't Today," Smash Into Pieces with "Hollow," Cimberly with "Eternity," Medina with "Viva L'Amor," Greczula with "Half of Me," Robin Bengtsson with "Honey Honey," and Sanna Nielsen with "Waste Your Love."
Ten of the finalists qualified directly from five preliminary rounds, while two others advanced through a repechage round held the previous week. Felicia will represent Sweden in the first half of the first semifinal of Eurovision 2026 on May 12. She succeeds KAJ, the Finnish band that won Melodifestivalen 2025 and represented Sweden at Eurovision 2025 with "Bara Bada Bastu," finishing fourth with 321 points.
