Location

Announcement

José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum, venue of the pageant

On 23 September 2025, the Miss Universe Organization announced that the 75th edition of the pageant will be held in the United States territory of Puerto Rico, marking its fourth hosting of the pageant, after 1972, 2001, and 2002.[1][2][3] Jenniffer González-Colón, the governor of Puerto Rico, confirmed the selection and announced that her administration had agreed to allocate a total of $9 million in public funds to finance its hosting of the competition, which would be handled by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company and Discover Puerto Rico.[4][5]

Negotiations

On December 18, Willianette Robles Cancel, the executive director of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company, suspended its disbursements to Miss Universe and called for a meeting between their contingents to discuss "several pending issues and new requirements for holding the pageant".[6][7] The suspension came after the pageant faced a number of issues, including irregularities in the outcome of the previous edition and the Mexican government launching an investigation on Miss Universe president Raúl Rocha on drugs, fuel, and arms trafficking charges.[8][7][9] By March 2026, the contingents had reached an agreement to continue organizing the pageant in the territory.[10] Among the conditions imposed by the Puerto Rican government in the agreement was for Rocha to withdraw his involvement in organizing the edition to "safeguard Puerto Rico's image".[11] By April 2026, the Puerto Rican government completed its disbursements to Miss Universe.[9][12]

Venues and schedule

The organizers designated the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico, as the venue for the preliminary and final rounds of the pageant.[13][14][15] On 22 July, the organizers announced the schedule for the contests, setting the national costume show for 21 November and the preliminary competition for the day after.[16] The finals are set to take place on 24 November, hours before the finals of Miss International 2026; the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported that this scheduling marks the first time the coronation shows of two Big Four beauty pageants are held within hours of each other.[17]

Selection of participants

Media publications have estimated that contestants from around 130 countries and territories are expected to compete in the edition.[18] Among the delegates designated as of 30 August 2026, three were appointed to compete as the runner-up in their national pageant,[a] seven were chosen through a casting process,[b] while three were selected to replace an original winner.

On 28 May 2026, Miss France withdrew from the Miss Universe Organization, citing the controversies surrounding the previous edition.[30][31][32] As a result, the winner of their 2025 edition, Angélique Angarni-Filopon, will not proceed to Miss Universe.[33] The following day, Miss Universe announced that it will directly organize the French qualifier pageant beginning with the 2026 edition.[34]

Olga Lombardo was reported by Primicias Ecuador as the representative of Belgium for this edition, despite currently competing in Miss World 2026.[35][36] However, her participation has not yet been officially announced by the Miss Belgium organization.[37]

The license holder in Turks and Caicos Islands announced that it would not hold the Miss Universe Turks and Caicos 2026 pageant.[38] Similarly, Trinidad and Tobago's license holder announced that it would not hold its 2026 pageant.[39]

Replacements

Xinying Zhu of China withdrew due to age restrictions and was replaced by Weiyi Chen.[40][41][42] Anara Esengeldieva of Kyrgyzstan was replaced by Medina Ermekova for unknown reasons.[43] Eunike Lioe of Suriname was replaced by Maruschka Sahiboe due to a change in the license holder.[44]

Debuts, returns and withdrawals

This edition will mark the debuts of the Collectivity of Saint Martin, Malawi, and Uganda.[45][46][47] Returning countries for this edition included Tunisia, which last competed in 1971; Réunion in 1986;[48] Austria in 2017;[49] Sierra Leone in 2019;[50] Albania, Cameroon, Germany, Iceland, Jamaica, Kenya, the Maldives, Mongolia, Montenegro, and Suriname in 2024.[51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]

Matôma Condé of Guinea and Zoulahatou Amadou of Niger withdrew from the competition.[61][62][63][64][65]
