How to watch in the United States
Check Telemundo
Telemundo is the first place to look in the United States, and it costs nothing to watch.
Sign in on your device
Install the broadcaster's app on your TV, phone or computer, then create an account or sign in.
Find the show
Check the start time on this page, then open the Miss Universe section a few minutes before it begins.
Telemundo or Peacock?
Telemundo is the simplest choice if you have an antenna or a TV package that includes it, because over-the-air reception costs nothing. Peacock suits you if you've cut the cord, and it needs a paid plan. Both carry the same live show, starting at 7pm ET, 6pm CT and 4pm PT.
Is it in English?
The broadcast is in Spanish, led by hosts Jacky Bracamontes and Carlos Adyan. We haven't seen an English-language US broadcast announced for 2026.
What about the costume and preliminary shows?
Telemundo's announcement covers the final only. We'll update the schedule if the first two nights are added.
Rooting for Team USA
Justus Kelley competes for the United States, which has more crowns than any other country, with nine. The most recent was R'Bonney Gabriel's in 2022. You can back her through the fan vote.
