SVT, the Swedish national broadcaster, have revealed the sign language team lined up for Melodifestivalen 2026 – their national selection for the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest, in Vienna.

Jenny Ryttervik  and  Magnus Ryttervik will be tasked with leading the sign language audience throughout the Melodifestivalen final together with the host couple Gina Dirawi and Hampus Nessvold. In a sign language greenroom, the host Ebru Bilen captures  the artists just before and after the stage and brings viewers closer to the nervousness, joy and excitement when everything is at stake.

A further team of twelve will guide viewers through the songs using sign language – they are:

• Frida Sollén 
• Laith Fathulla 
• Marta Svensson 
• Amelia Daszkowski 
• Panos Paraschou 
• Jennifer Fernández 
• Linnea Lundström
