Miss USA is an American beauty pageant that has been held annually since 1952 to select a US entrant for Miss Universe. The Miss Universe Organization operated both pageants, as well as Miss Teen USA, until 2020. In 2020, the organization announced it was licensing operation of the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants to Crystle Stewart, who was the Miss USA winner in 2008. In October 2022, Stewart was suspended, and the rights to the pageants were returned to the Miss Universe Organization. The pageants are now operated by Thom Brodeur.
The pageant was owned by Donald Trump from 1996 to 2015 and was previously broadcast on NBC. In September 2015, WME/IMG purchased the pageant from Trump. In 2020, for the first time, the FYI network broadcast the competition. In October 2022, JKN Global Group acquired the pageant along with the Miss Universe Organization itself from WME/IMG.
The current Miss USA is Audrey Eckert of Nebraska, who won the title on October 24, 2025, at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada.
