Miss Universe is typically available on a mix of TV channels, official streams, and the pageant’s own YouTube, with options differing slightly by year and country.

Main ways to watch

  • Official Miss Universe YouTube channel: Recent editions, including the 74th Miss Universe 2025 final, have been streamed live and then left up as full replays on the official channel.
  • Telemundo & Peacock (U.S.): For Miss Universe 2025, U.S. viewers can watch the live telecast on Telemundo and stream it on Peacock in prime time (evening of Nov 20 U.S. time, aligning with the morning show in Thailand).
  • Local broadcasters: Some countries have their own rights-holders (e.g., Indian TV and streaming platforms listed in regional guides, Philippine networks, Thai platform AIS PLAY), so local TV listings or the Miss Universe site usually provide a country-by-country list each year.

If you’re watching from the U.S.

  • Live TV: Tune into Telemundo at the announced start time (around 7–8 p.m. ET for the 2025 edition).
  • Streaming: Use Peacock (and in some cases services that carry Telemundo, like certain live-TV streamers) to watch live or on replay, subject to regional restrictions.

If you’re outside the U.S.

  • Check the official Miss Universe website or social accounts for the latest list of licensed broadcasters and streaming partners in your country each year.
  • When your country is not listed or you don’t have the local channel, the organization often notes that you can legally watch via the official Miss Universe YouTube livestream , which has been the fallback global option for the 2025 pageant.

Quick tips before the next pageant

  • Confirm the exact date/time and broadcaster 1–2 days before the event, because time zones and channel partners can shift slightly between editions.
  • Avoid random “free stream” links circulating on forums or code repositories, as many of these are unofficial or spammy; stick to YouTube, major networks, and platforms linked from the Miss Universe organization itself.
