Accordingly, 21 performers took part, distributed over three semifinals and then presented a cover song according to the semifinal motto. A three-person jury selected an interpreter for each semi-final who qualified for the final on February 23, 2020. In the final, the three qualified candidates presented a cover song and their potential contribution to the Eurovision Song Contest. The jury and the audience decided equally on the winner of the preliminary decision. Michał Szpak , Cleo and Gromee formed the jury. They represented their country in 2016 , 2014 and 2018 .
The programs were moderated by Artur Orzech and broadcast on TVP2 .
