The first show will have 10 songs compete which will then be reduced down to 5. The remaining 5 songs will then be performed in the second show and a public vote will decide the winner.

RTP (Portuguese National Broadcaster) will invte 10 composers to submit entries and performers but RTP will have final approval on the acts. The 2 shows are planned to take place in March.

Portugal did not participate at Eurovision 2013 and their return to the contest was welcomed by the EBU.
