Slovenia has been represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 30 times since its debut in 1993, having hosted a qualification round (Kvalifikacija za Millstreet) in Ljubljana for seven countries due to the influx of new nations wishing to join the contest. The Slovenian participating broadcaster in the contest is Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTVSLO).
Slovenia's best result is seventh position achieved on two occasions; in 1995 with "Prisluhni mi" performed by Darja Švajger and in 2001 with "Energy" by Nuša Derenda. Since the introduction of the semi-finals in 2004, Slovenia has qualified for the final on eight occasions. As of 2025, Slovenia has not made it to the top ten since their seventh place finish in 2001, only making it to the thirteenth position in 2002 and 2011. Having only missed two contests from 1993 to 2025, RTVSLO opted not to participate in 2026 due to the inclusion of Israel in the context of the Gaza war.
