The Czech Republic, presented as Czechia, was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 with the song "Pedestal", written by Alena Shirmanova-Kostebelova and Steven Ansell, and performed by Shirmanova-Kostebelova herself under her stage name Aiko. The Czech participating broadcaster, Czech Television (ČT), organised the national final ESCZ 2024 in order to select its entry for the contest.
Czechia was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 9 May 2024. Performing during the show in position 5, "Pedestal" 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 Czechia placed eleventh out of the 16 participating countries in the semi-final with 38 points.
