On 10 August, RÚV teased Iceland's participation at the 38th edition of Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged. While early reports stated that a national final would be organized in Reykjavík, a lack and funds and loss of Azerbaijani sponsor put the prospective national final into doubt. Days ago head of Icelandic delegation, Patrick Janik, informed the press that an internal selection wasn't off the table. However, on 17 August, RÚV finally confirms that it plans to host a national final, consequently confirming Iceland's participation at the contest in Denmark.

The upcoming edition of Söngur fyrir Ísland will feature one final instead of the usual allocation into semi-finals due to budgetary constraints. An audition process back in July narrowed down the field to 10 acts that will compete for a chance to represent Iceland at ESCT 38.
