TAMPA (BLOOM) – The Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants are making their way back to The CW Network with an exclusive multi-year broadcast partnership, ensuring viewers across the country can tune in to watch the highly anticipated events. The Miss USA Pageant will air live on Sunday, August 4, while the Miss Teen USA Pageant will air live on Thursday, August 1, both taking place in Los Angeles.

The CW Network’s commitment to these iconic events follows the success of last year’s Miss USA Pageant, which became the network’s top new special of 2023. It drew over a million viewers, with the crowning of Miss Utah, Noelia Voigt, marking a high point in viewership. The partnership signals a continuation of this success, aiming to captivate audiences with a fresh, modern approach to the long-standing tradition of these pageants.

Heather Olander, Head of Unscripted Programming at The CW, is thrilled to continue this collaboration. “We are honored to continue our partnership with the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA Organization to broadcast these two quality competitions that resonate with legions of fans across the country,” she said.

Miss USA and Miss Teen USA are undergoing significant changes to reflect contemporary values. For the first time, the Miss USA Pageant will allow any adult woman to compete, regardless of age, marital status, or parental status. This modernization is part of the pageant’s effort to align with the goals of today’s women, breaking away from decades-old regulations.

Laylah Rose, President and CEO of the Miss USA Organization, expressed excitement about the partnership and the changes it represents. “The Miss USA and Miss Teen USA Pageants have captivated audiences for decades with their unwavering commitment to making a positive impact in their communities,” she said. “Through our exciting partnership with The CW, a blend of nostalgia and innovation, we are excited to showcase this prestigious competition and remain a beloved staple in family homes everywhere.”

The Miss USA and Miss Teen USA Pageants are known for more than just glitz and glamour. They offer a platform for women to showcase their talents, intelligence, and leadership skills, emphasizing inner beauty alongside outer beauty. Each pageant brings together titleholders from every state, all vying for the prestigious crowns and the opportunity to represent the United States on a global stage. Miss USA 2023 Noelia Voigt and Miss Teen USA 2023 UmaSofia Srivastava will attend the events to pass their crowns to the next winners.
