The participation of Spain in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest first began at the inaugural Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Template:Escyr which took place in Copenhagen, Denmark. The current Spanish participant broadcaster in the contest is Script error: No such module "Lang". (RTVE). Spain used a national selection format, broadcasting a show entitled Eurojunior, for their participation at the contests. The first representative to participate for the nation at the 2003 contest was Sergio with the song "Desde el cielo", which finished in second place out of sixteen participating entries, achieving a score of 125 points. Spain did not participate from 2007 to 2018, but returned to the contest in Template:Escyr.[1]

Spain is one of the sixteen countries to have made their debut at the inaugural Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2003, which took place on 15 November 2003 at the Forum in Copenhagen, Denmark.[2] Child singer Sergio was the first participant to represent Spain with the song "Script error: No such module "Lang".",[3] which finished in second place out of sixteen participating entries, achieving a score of 137 points.[4] Spain is one of the most successful countries in the contest, with its first six entrants all finishing in the top 5. The country won in Template:Escyr, with "Script error: No such module "Lang"." performed by María Isabel, as well as coming second place twice, in both Template:Escyr and Template:Escyr. Spanish broadcaster Televisión Española (TVE) did not return after the Template:Escyr contest, stating "the Junior Eurovision promotes stereotypes we do not share".[5]

Since 2013, there were several attempts to manage the return of Spain to the contest. During the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen, the head of the Spanish delegation, Federico Llano said that Script error: No such module "Lang". (RTVE) was not planning to participate in the 2014 contest.[6][7] In 2014, it was stated that the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) television committee would discuss the possibility of allowing commercial television channels to participate, in order to negotiate with Spanish private broadcasters to manage the return of Spain to the contest. These attempts did not come to fruition.[8][9][10][11] In 2015, several media outlets reported that RTVE was working on returning to the contest, but, these claims were not confirmed by the broadcaster.[12][13]

On 13 May 2016, EBU Executive Supervisor Jon Ola Sand announced at a press conference that the EBU were in contact with broadcasters from several countries including Spain, so that they would participate in the Template:Escyr.[14] On 28 September 2016, however, Spain was not listed as one of the seventeen participating countries in the contest.[15] RTVE returned to the contest in Template:Escyr after a 13-year absence.[1] Their return proved to be successful, with "Script error: No such module "Lang"." by Melani García in Template:Escyr and "Script error: No such module "Lang"." by Soleá in Template:Escyr both reaching third place. Their success, however, could not be repeated with "Script error: No such module "Lang"." by Levi Díaz, who placed 15th, the first and only time Spain has placed outside the top 10. In 2022, "Script error: No such module "Lang"." by Carlos Higes placed 6th, bringing Spain back to the top 10. In 2023, "Loviu" by Sandra Valero finished 2nd, giving Spain their best result since 2005.

On 14 February 2024, the EBU and RTVE announced that the latter would host the Template:Escyr contest after previous winners France's Script error: No such module "Lang". opted against hosting. It was the first time that Spain hosted the contest and the first Eurovision event to be held in the country since the Eurovision Song Contest 1969 in Madrid.[16] On 10 May 2024, the EBU and RTVE selected Madrid as the host city for the event.[17]
