Melodifestivalen 1992

Melodifestivalen 1992 was the selection for the 32nd song to represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest. It was the 31st time that this system of picking a song had been used. 1,544 songs were submitted to SVT for the competition. The final was held in the Cirkus in Stockholm on 14 March 1992, presented by Adde Malmberg and Claes Malmberg and broadcast on Kanal 1 and Sveriges Radio's P3 network.
