Concours Eurovision 1987

Swiss Italian broadcaster RTSI was in charge of broadcasting the selection for the Swiss entry for the 1987 contest. The national final was held at the studios of RTSI in Lugano, hosted by Letizia Brunati. Nine songs were submitted for the 1987 national final and the winning song was chosen by three regional juries, a press jury, and an expert jury.

Other participants included past and future Swiss representatives including Marc Dietrich (1971, 1976, 1979, 1981) and Furbaz (1989).
