Fátima Bosch's emotional Miss Universe farewell nears

Fátima Bosch, the current Miss Universe, is nearing the end of her impactful reign and preparing for an emotional farewell. She is set to crown her successor on November 24, 2026, at the grand finale in Puerto Rico.

Bosch, the fourth Mexican woman to hold the Miss Universe title, reflected on her journey with profound gratitude and highlighted the significant personal growth she experienced. She emphasized the invaluable lessons learned and the immense affection received from supporters throughout her demanding year as queen.

The international competition will celebrate its 75th anniversary at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot. The national costume competition is scheduled for November 21, followed by the preliminary competition on November 22, culminating in the crowning ceremony on November 24, 2026. Bosch's successor will take the crown approximately one year after Bosch herself won the title in Thailand in November 2025.
