◄ 27 29 ►

Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged 28, also known as ESCT #28, will be the twenty-eight edition of Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged, which was held at the D'Coque Arena, in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, for the very first time in the country, following Luxembourg's victory at the 27th edition in Donetsk with the song "No Roots", performed by Alice Merton, with 238 points almost reaching the record of points.

Finally, 48 countries confirmed its participation in the 28th edition of the contest so far. Macedonia attempted to withdraw from the contest due to the poor results from previous editions, however, its participation was confirmated later on. Turkey also attempted to withdraw alleging low interest in the contest, but finally there was a change in the Head of Delegation and the country confirmed its participation. Czech Republic confirmed its return to the contest after one edition of absence due to budgets cuts.

Once again in this edition, because of the high amount of participant countries, a Pre-qualification round was introduced, where the bottom 4 from each semifinal from last edition will compete to win a spot in the Semifinals. The voting countries will be the own participating countries and a jury voting based in the votes from the Big 5. The 5 countries with most votes will go through the Semifinals.

Ruth Lorenzo from Spain became the twenty-eighth winner of the Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged with the song Good Girls Don't Lie with a total of 214 points. Albania finishing in second place and Israel finishing in third place.

Logo and theme

The official logo of the twenty-eight edition of the contest.

The logo of the twenty-eight edition of the Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged was previously designed by Alex Ramírez the main producer of Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged. The producer's intention was to use the ESCT27 winning song title "No Roots" to base the edition on, and use a tree as reference. However, this idea was rejected and the logo was created with a big bubble with some lines, dots and circles as design making reference to the greatness of the contest and how big is. Despite the rejected idea of the tree, the slogan was "From The Roots" as a tribute to the last edition winning song.

Participants
