When, where to watch Miss Universe 2025 coronation night

Mark your calendars! The highly anticipated 74th Miss Universe coronation night is fast approaching, set to light up Bangkok, Thailand, on November 21 at 9 AM Manila time. This global spectacle will see the Philippines' own Ahtisa Manalo contend for the prestigious international title.

Filipino fans can catch all the action live across various ABS-CBN platforms, including Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, Metro Channel, and iWant. The reigning Miss Universe, Denmark’s Victoria Kjær Theilvig, will be on hand to crown her successor, passing on the coveted global honor.

Ahtisa Manalo, hailing from Quezon province, earned her spot as Miss Universe Philippines 2025 on May 2 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. Her victory was particularly memorable, highlighted by a graceful recovery after a stumble on stage during the evening gown segment. She ingeniously wove this experience into her Top 6 Q&A, sharing, "I fell a while ago on stage. And the thing with me is, whenever I fall in life, I always make sure I come back stronger."

She further elaborated on her motivation, revealing that her return to the stage was a heartfelt tribute to her late grandmother, making her quest for the crown a shared dream. This inspiring resilience is a hallmark of her impressive pageant journey, which includes a first runner-up finish at Miss International 2018, second runner-up at Miss Universe Philippines 2024, and a Top 10 placement at Miss Cosmo 2024.

Manalo is now aiming to bring home the Philippines' fifth Miss Universe crown, following in the illustrious footsteps of Gloria Diaz (1969), Margie Moran (1973), Pia Wurtzbach (2015), and Catriona Gray (2018). Before the grand finale, fans can also enjoy the exciting Swimsuit Runway show, airing on November 15 at 8 PM on Metro Channel, ANC, and iWant, with a replay on November 16 at 9:30 PM on Kapamilya Channel.
