Greece was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 with the song "Zari" performed by Marina Satti. The Greek participating broadcaster Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) internally selected its entry for the contest, announcing Satti's selection on 24 October 2023 and the song's selection on 7 March 2024. "Zari" was composed by Gino "the Ghost" Borri, Jay Stolar, Jordan Palmer, Kay Be, Nick Kodonas, OGE and Satti, with lyrics by OGE, Satti, Solmeister and Vlospa.
To promote "Zari" as the Greek entry, a music video for the song was created and the year's participation was sponsored by Eurojackpot through the local gambling operator OPAP. Greece was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 9 May 2024; it was later selected to perform in position 3. At the end of the show, "Zari" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and hence qualified to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Greece placed fifth out of the 16 participating countries in the semi-final with 86 points. In the final, Greece performed in position 12 and placed 11th out of the 25 performing countries, scoring a total of 126 points.
