The two semi finals will take place on at Truenorth Studios in Fossaleyni, Reykjavík on February 17th and 24th, with the final taking place in Laugardalshöll, Reykjavík on March 2nd. All three shows will be hosted by Ragnhildur Steinunn Jónsdóttir, Sigurður Þorri Gunnarsson and Unnsteinn Manuel Stefánsson.
The top two acts from each semi final, as voted for by 10o% televote, will advance to the final. There is a possibility that a fifth song from the non-qualifiers will be chosen as a wild card to advance to the final, as has been seen in previous editions of Söngvakeppnin. In the final, the first round of televoting (50% international jury, 50% televote) will decide the two acts who will advance to the superfinal. Here, the winner will be decided by 100% televote.
