The wait is over for beauty pageant fans. On Monday, it was officially confirmed that the grand finale of Miss Universe Mexico 2026 will take place in Los Cabos, Baja California Sur—a destination renowned for its landscapes, beaches, and international tourism appeal. It is there that the next Mexican representative will be chosen to compete in the Miss Universe pageant against contestants from various countries.
The announcement sparked great excitement among fans of the pageant, who had been speculating for weeks about which city would be chosen to host one of the country’s most important beauty pageants.
The current Miss Universe, Fátima Bosch, broke the news during a live broadcast on the show *Sale el Sol*. From a stage overlooking the ocean, the beauty queen confirmed that the national finals will take place on August 29, when the successor who will represent Mexico at the international pageant will be announced.
Fátima Bosch, Miss Universe, shares the news
During her appearance on the morning show, Fátima Bosch expressed her excitement about Los Cabos being chosen as the venue for the event and said that the organizers are planning a ceremony full of surprises.
“I’m so happy to share this news. Here in Los Cabos, the Miss Universe Mexico grand finale will take place on August 29. It will be an event put together with a lot of love and featuring many surprises for everyone,” the beauty queen said during the live broadcast.
The news was also teased hours earlier on Miss Universe Mexico’s official social media accounts, where a video of Bosch was posted showing her on a balcony overlooking the ocean. In the footage, she was seen wearing an elegant blue beach-style dress, accompanied by a message announcing major news during her television appearance.
Once the host city was confirmed, social media was flooded with excited messages, especially from residents of Baja California Sur and fans of the pageant.
Many users celebrated the choice of Los Cabos as the venue, highlighting the destination’s natural beauty and its capacity to host international events. Comments such as “We’ll be there,” “I’m so excited it’s in my city,” “It’s going to be a spectacular event,” and “Los Cabos will look incredible” began to multiply across various digital platforms.
Excitement also grew among those looking forward to meeting the next national representative, as the winner will travel months later to compete for the Miss Universe crown.
During the interview, Fátima Bosch also took the opportunity to send a message to all the young women who aspire to become the next Miss Universe Mexico.
Beyond the competition, the current queen emphasized that the true goal should be to prepare ourselves as women capable of making a positive impact on society.
As she explained, a crown represents a much greater responsibility than mere aesthetic recognition, as it offers the opportunity to become a spokesperson for social causes and give a voice to those who normally have none.
For Bosch, success in a competition should not be measured solely by winning first place, but by the ability to inspire, serve, and use the platform to help others.
A reign that continues to this day
Although the election of the new representative is drawing closer, Fátima Bosch noted that she still has several months of official duties ahead of her before her reign comes to an end.
The Mexican explained that she maintains a busy schedule that includes travel, public events, special projects, and, above all, philanthropic work—one of the areas she has enjoyed the most since winning the crown.
Bosch noted that social work will remain a priority even after he receives his degree, as he has been actively involved in community support initiatives for more than a decade and intends to continue developing them in the future.
With the confirmation of Los Cabos as the official host city, Miss Universe Mexico 2026 begins the countdown to one of its most anticipated editions. All signs point to the country discovering, on August 29, the woman who will have the mission of representing Mexico on the international stage and competing for a new crown for the country—backed not only by her preparation and beauty, but also by a project with social impact.
