Applications
The official form was open from 14 August 2026 to 28 August 2026, inclusive, on this site. Selected candidates are chosen by the organisation’s leadership committee.

Boilerplate, ready to lift
The paragraph below may be reused without permission or rewording. It says exactly what is established, and nothing more.
Miss Universe France is the organisation responsible for selecting and preparing France’s representative at the international Miss Universe competition. Established for the 2026 edition, the competition’s 75th, it runs a national selection open to women from every French region and territory, with no regional circuit required. The international final takes place on 24 November 2026 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Accreditation
Accreditation for the 2026 French selection will open alongside the selection calendar. The process and deadlines will be published here.
Accreditation for the international final in San Juan is handled by the international organisation, not by us.
