Romania in the Eurovision Song Contest
◄2022 2023 2025►

Romania participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool, United Kingdom, with "D.G.T. (Off and On)" performed by Theodor Andrei. The Romanian broadcaster Televiziunea Română (TVR) organised the national final Selecția Națională 2023 in order to select the Romanian entry for the 2023 contest. Twelve entries were selected to compete in the national final on 11 February 2023 where "D.G.T. (Off and On)" performed by Theodor Andrei was selected as the winner entirely by a public vote.

Romania was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 11 May 2023. Performing during the show in position 3, "D.G.T. (Off and On)" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Romania placed 15th out of the 16 participating countries in the semi-final and failed to score any points. This marked the first time the nation received nul points since they debuted in the contest in 1994.
