The final took place on 11 March 2017 where the six entries that qualified from the preceding two semi-finals and the jury wildcard competed. In the semi-finals, all competing entries were required to be performed in Icelandic; however, entries competing in the final were required to be presented in the language they would compete with in the Eurovision Song Contest. All seven entries competed in English. In the first round of voting, votes from a jury panel (50%) and public televoting (50%) determined the top two entries: "Paper" performed by Svala Björgvinsdóttir and "Is This Love?" performed by Daði Freyr Pétursson. For the first time, jury voting involved international jurors alongside Icelandic members. The top two entries advanced to a second round of voting, the superfinal, where the winner, "Paper" performed by Svala Björgvinsdóttir, was determined solely by televoting. In addition to the performances of the competing artists, the interval acts featured guest performances by 2009 Eurovision Song Contest winner Alexander Rybak, who won for Norway with the song "Fairytale", and 2015 Eurovision Song Contest winner Måns Zelmerlöw, who won for Sweden with the song "Heroes".
