The next Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants won't air on television as planned. The CW Network confirmed Thursday it will not broadcast the finals scheduled for next week in Miami.
"After careful consideration and conversations with the Miss USA Organization, The CW Network has decided to forego next week's broadcasts of the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants," a CW spokesperson said in a statement. "We wish the organization and all of this year's contestants well in the competition."
A Miss USA spokesperson told Business Insider the pageant will stream on the Queen Beauty Network, the same platform used in 2025. That was the first year the contest went without a TV broadcast since 1965.
The CW had signed a three-year deal with former CEO Laylah Rose in April 2024. A month later, Miss USA 2023 Noelia Voigt and Miss Teen USA UmaSofia Srivastava gave up their titles, a first in the pageant's 70-plus-year history. Both said they had been bullied by Rose, who denied the allegations.
