United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020

The United Kingdom participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020. The British broadcaster British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) returned to an internal selection in 2020, this time partnering with record label BMG who selected, recorded and produced the British entry for the 2020 contest in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Background
Prior to the 2020 contest, the United Kingdom participated in the Eurovision Song Contest sixty-two times. Thus far, the United Kingdom has won the contest five times: in 1967 with the song "Puppet on a String" performed by Sandie Shaw, in 1969 with the song "Boom Bang-a-Bang" performed by Lulu, in 1976 with the song "Save Your Kisses for Me" performed by Brotherhood of Man, in 1981 with the song "Making Your Mind Up" performed by Bucks Fizz and in 1997 with the song "Love Shine a Light" performed by Katrina and the Waves. To this point, the nation is noted for having finished as the runner-up in a record fifteen contests. Up to and including 1998, the UK had only twice finished outside the top 10, in 1978 and 1987. Since 1999, the year in which the rule was abandoned that songs must be performed in one of the official languages of the country participating, the UK has had less success, thus far only finishing within the top ten twice: in 2002 with the song "Come Back" performed by Jessica Garlick and in 2009 with the song "It's My Time" performed by Jade Ewen. For the 2018 contest, the United Kingdom finished in twenty-fourth place out of twenty-six competing entries with the song "Storm" performed by SuRie amassing a total of 48 points.

Internal selection
In September 2019, it was announced that the BBC would not hold a public selection for the 2020 contest, and that BBC Studios would partner with record label BMG to select, produce and release its entry.

On 22 February, it was announced by Graham Norton on BBC One that the UK's entry would be revealed on both BBC Radio 1, during The Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Greg James, and on BBC Radio 2, with Ken Bruce, on 27 February 2020.
