Portugal has moved a step closer to choosing its Eurovision act for 2023 with today's second ‘Festival da Canção’ semi-final. Ten acts performed in the semi-final; six advanced through to next week's Grand Final. Five qualifying acts were chosen via a 50-50 combination of jury scores and public televoting. In addition, a sixth 'wildcard' qualifier was chosen solely by public televote.

The televote wild card was then announced as:
