About this class
This is not a ranking
The finalists are listed alphabetically by first name. No order of merit exists: France’s representative at Miss Universe 2026 has not been chosen, and she will be chosen from among them by the leadership committee.
Where they are from
The regions represented this year: Île-de-France, Côte d’Azur, Provence and Brittany. The selection is open to women from across France with no regional circuit to climb first: none of them had to win a regional title to be here.
What they are working towards
The international final takes place on 24 November 2026 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It is the competition’s 75th edition, and France has competed since 1953.
Where announcements appear
Here first. This page is the reference source for the class of 2026: the organisation chose these finalists and publishes them here, and every other list is downstream of this one.
