The Netherlands participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden, with "Europapa" performed by Joost Klein. The Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS internally selected the Dutch entry for the 2024 contest. Klein's appointment as the Dutch representative was announced on 11 December 2023, while the song, "Europapa", was presented to the public on 29 February 2024.

The Netherlands was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 9 May 2024. Performing as the closing entry during the show in position 16, "Europapa" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 11 May. It was later revealed that the Netherlands placed second out of the 16 participating countries in the semi-final with 182 points. However, following a backstage incident involving Klein and a production staff member shortly after his semi-final performance, the Netherlands was disqualified from the final, where it was set to perform in position 5.^[1] It was the first time that an entry was disqualified during the contest.
