The Miss Universe Philippines 2021 grand coronation night will be held in Panglao, Bohol on Thursday, September 30. It will be available for streaming on KTX.ph. 

28 candidates remain in the competition. Reigning queen Rabiya Mateo will be crowning her successor.

TV personality KC Montero is returning to host the pageant’s coronation night for the second year in a row.

Sam Concepcion and Michael Pangilinan, meanwhile, will be performing during the finals. Sam is set to sing an original song during the final swimsuit round while Michael will be serenading the finalists during the evening gown competition.

You have at least 3 options.

If you want to watch live, the coronation night streams first via KTX. The P599 pass gives you access to the coronation night, as well as video-on-demand replays of the swimsuit and evening gown prelims and the Q&A special.

If you’re fine with a delayed telecast (as in, three days later), the finals night will also be streamed for free via ABS-CBN’s YouTube Channal, iWantTFC, and TFX IPTV but only beginning October 3.

It’ll also air on free TV via GMA on October 3 at 9 am with exclusive interviews with the judges and the new Miss Universe Philippines.
