Yahoo • • entertainment
Key Points:
- The CW has decided not to broadcast the 2026 Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants, less than a week before the scheduled air dates, citing no specific reasons beyond a general statement.
- The Miss USA Organization attributed the cancellation to a "contractual issue" related to production arrangements and stated that they were unable to reach mutually agreeable terms with The CW.
- Despite the cancellation on The CW, the pageants will be streamed live on the Queen Beauty Network (QBN), which also streamed the events last year and expressed enthusiasm for supporting the pageants again.
- The CW had signed a multi-year deal with BDE Miss USA, the pageant owner, in June, but the planned broadcasts for August 26 and 27 will no longer air on the network.
