The first four semi-finals, broadcast from February 20 to 23, saw the artists perform in alphabetical order. From each of these semi-finals, four acts directly qualified to the final, whilst another four acts moved onto the second chance semi-final.

From the second chance semi-final, a further four acts qualified for the final which will be broadcast on February 25. Therefore a total of 22 acts will therefore compete in the show on Saturday evening.
