The Czech Republic participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with the song "Have Some Fun" written by Gordon Pogoda and Stano Šimor. The song was performed by Tereza Kerndlová. The Czech broadcaster Česká televize (ČT) organised the national final Eurosong 2008 in order to select the Czech entry for the 2008 contest in Belgrade, Serbia. Ten entries competed in the national final which took place on 26 January 2008 and "Have Some Fun" performed by Tereza Kerndlová was selected as the winner entirely by a public vote.
Czech Republic was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 22 May 2008. Performing during the show in position 8, "Have Some Fun" was not announced among the 10 qualifying entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Czech Republic placed eighteenth out of the 19 participating countries in the semi-final with 9 points.
