The Czech Republic was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 with the song "Omaga" performed by Benny Cristo and written by Cristo along with Filip Vlček. Benny Cristo was announced by the Czech broadcaster Česká televize (ČT) on 13 May 2020 as the Czech representative for the 2021 contest in Rotterdam, Netherlands after he was due to compete in the 2020 contest with "Kemama" before the 2020 event's cancellation, while the song "Omaga" was presented to the public on 16 February 2021.
Czech Republic was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 20 May 2021. Performing during the show in position 3, "Omaga" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Czech Republic placed fifteenth out of the 17 participating countries in the semi-final with 23 points.
