SWEDEN – Melodifestivalen 2022 is the 62nd edition of the Swedish music competition Melodifestivalen, which is organised by Sveriges Television (SVT) and is taking place over a six-week period between 5 February and 12 March 2022.
The event was planned to return to its traditional tour around six cities of the country (namely Malmรถ, Gothenburg, Linkรถping, Lidkรถping, รrnskรถldsvik and Stockholm) with venues available for spectators after the previous edition was entirely held in one place and without an audience due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, due to tightening restrictions in light of the spread of the Omicron variant, SVT announced on 14 January 2022 that all shows will instead be held in Stockholm. On 4 February, SVT announced that the first three heats will be held in the Avicii Arena, while the remaining one heat, the semi-final and the final will be held in the Friends Arena.
As usual, a total of 28 entries take part in the competition, 12 of which will make it to the final. For this edition, the wildcard spot given to one of the artists in the P4 Nรคsta competition organised by Sveriges Radio P4 was not used.
