The United Kingdom was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with the song "Even If", written by Andy Abraham, Paul Wilson, and Andy Watkins, and performed by Abraham himself. The British participating broadcaster, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), organised the national final Eurovision: Your Decision in order to select its entry for the contest. Six acts competed in the national final and the winner was selected through three rounds of voting.

Performing in position 2, the United Kingdom placed 25th (last) out of the 25 participating countries with 14 points, making it the second time the nation had placed last in the history of the competition.
