The announcement was made in a July 2, 2026, press release published to the pageant’s official Facebook page. 

It was previously indicated that the pageant would return to Festival Grounds.

According to Ms Natalie O. Hodge, Chair of the Miss British Virgin Islands Sub-Committee, the pageant’s return to the Multi-Purpose Sports Complex reflects the aim to maintain the prestige and elevated standard of the national competition.

"When guests walk into the transformed Multi-Purpose Sports Complex, they won't simply be attending a pageant—they'll be stepping into an immersive experience…Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to create an elegant atmosphere that reflects the prestige of the Miss British Virgin Islands title while celebrating the beauty and culture of our Territory.”

The committee, she added, looks forward to sharing this unforgettable production with the people of the Virgin Islands.

The three ladies will be judged in seven segments: Introduction, Culture Wear, Swimwear, BVI Promotion, Talent, Evening Wear, and Question and Answer.
