The Czech Republic, presented for the first time as Czechia, was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 with the song "My Sister's Crown" performed by the band Vesna. The Czech broadcaster Česká televize (ČT) organised the national final ESCZ 2023 in order to select the Czech entry for the 2023 contest. Five entries competed in the national final and "My Sister's Crown" performed by Vesna was announced as the winner on 7 February 2023 following the combination of an international public vote and a Czech public vote.
Czechia was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 9 May 2023. Performing during the show in position 13, "My Sister's Crown" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 13 May. It was later revealed that Czechia placed fourth out of the 15 participating countries in the semi-final with 110 points. In the final, Czechia performed in position 14 and placed tenth out of the 26 participating countries, scoring 129 points.
