Albania has been represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 21 times since its debut in 2004. The current Albanian participating broadcaster in the contest is Radio Televizioni Shqiptar (RTSH), which determines the country's entry every year through the national selection of Festivali i Këngës, a long-standing song competition organised yearly since 1962.
Albanian debut in 2004 was successful, with "The Image of You" by Anjeza Shahini, placing 7th. It remained the country's best result until 2012, when "Suus" by Rona Nishliu finished 5th. The country also reached the top ten in 2025, finishing eighth with "Zjerm" by Shkodra Elektronike.
Albania has participated every year since their debut and has participated in the final 12 out of 21 times.
