Miss Universe 2016 will be organized by the Miss Universe Organization along with the Philippine Department of Tourism and LCS Group of Companies. On November 16, 2016, the Miss Universe representatives, DOT and private sponsors signed a partnership contract signified the Philippines' hosting of the 65th edition of the beauty pageant. Also, the official website and Facebook page were launched during the event.

Negotiations
On 18 July 2016, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach made a courtesy call with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte in regards to hosting Miss Universe 2016 in the Philippines. Duterte was initially open to the idea but refused to shoulder the expenses through government funding. Later reports revealed that the Philippine Department of Tourism clarified that the President was never opposed to the idea of hosting the pageant but only had concerns with the financing.
The Department of Tourism unilaterally confirmed on 28 July 2016 that the Philippines will host the pageant. According to DOT Media Director Ina Zara, Miss Universe Organization President, Paula Shugart said that other countries were considered to host Miss Universe 2016, but the Philippines has been a prime choice for the organization. The hosting of the pageant by the Philippines just about two weeks after the announcement by the DOT was reportedly "80 percent confirmed".
On 3 November 2016, the Miss Universe Organization, through a video message from Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, officially announced that the Philippines will host the pageant. The DOT welcomed the announcement.
Cancellations and renegotiation
It was later reported that plans to host the pageant in the Philippines were cancelled several times due to undisclosed reasons. The DOT had to send officials to the United States to ensure that the pageant will be hosted in the Philippines.
On 4 December 2016 it was reported that the event, and consequentially hosting rights of the Philippines, was cancelled due to President Rodrigo Duterte's controversial remarks such as his rhetoric towards US President Barack Obama and comments on plans to separate ties of the Philippines with the United States was not received well by the William Morris Entertainment/International Marketing Group (WME), the owners of the Miss Universe franchise. Duterte's expression that he would be glad to kill drug addicts like how Adolf Hitler led the killing of Jews during the Holocaust led to WME CEO Zev Emanuel, who is Jewish to cancel the hosting.
Chavit Singson one of the key people of the Philippine hosting considered filing a case for breach of contract but decided against it despite the hosts already paid in full. Singson was inclined to regain hosting rights since he argued that his credibility and the reputation of the Miss Universe brand will be ruined if it gets cancelled. Singson sent a representative along with some of his Jewish companions to convince Emanuel to push through with the event. Duterte's later apology to his Holocaust-related remark helped in the renegotiation as well as Singson's offer to add women empowerment programs to the pageant.

Main venue
On September 2016, the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay was announced to be the main coronation venue of the pageant according to the Philippine Tourism Secretary Wanda Corazon Teo.
The Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan was the other venue considered by the Department of Tourism as the main coronation venue of the pageant but the Miss Universe Organization disapproved of the venue due to "security reasons".
When the hosting of the Philippines was confirmed in November 2016 by the Miss Universe Organization. Teo reaffirmed that the pageant's main venue will be in the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay and will be held on January 30, 2017.
The Mall of Asia Arena will also host several events including the Governor's Ball, the National Gift Auction, the National Costume Show, the Fashion Show, the Designer Showcase, the Preliminary Competitions and the After Party with the new Miss Universe 2016 winner.
Other venues
Prior to the July 2016 "confirmation" of the host country of the pageant by the DOT, President Rodrigo Duterte reportedly made requests for the Miss Universe 2016 organizers on September 2016 to stage ancillary events outside Metro Manila, in locations such as Boracay, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Davao, Palawan and Vigan to lessen additional traffic in Metro Manila due to the pageant hosting, as well as to promote the venues as tourist spots. In November 4, Bohol along with Cebu was mentioned among the "confirmed venues".
The province of Cebu was being considered as the venue of the photoshoot of the swimsuit competition, while Vigan was designated for the photoshoot of the national costume competition. Boracay and Palawan were later decided to be not among the venues of the ancillary events in favor of promoting Cebu as "an international gateway", although Palawan was among the ancillary venues reported later. Baguio is confirmed to be hosting one of the pageant's events on November 2, 2016.
In November 19, 2016, it was announced that the ancillary events which are non-bearing to the contestants' total pageant score will take place in Davao, Bicol, Cebu, and Vigan. A list of photo shoot venues consisting of Baguio, Palawan, Siargao, Batanes, Tacloban, and Iloilo was also announced but nothing was stated if the venues are final. On December 1, 2016, Iloilo was announced as the main host of the photoshoot of the contestants set on January 19, 2017 but possibly coinciding with the annual Dinagyang Festival on the same week.
Funding
The funds needed to stage the pageant in the country will come entirely from the private businesses. Among the reported sponsors are Filipino billionaire Henry Sy and Japanese billionaire Kazuo Okada. The Okada Manila, a hotel currently in construction, will serve as the residential venue for the Miss Universe 2016 candidates. The projected expense for the event is $11 million USD.
A group led by Ilocos Sur Governor, Chavit Singson will handle the financial aspects of the event with the help of sponsoring organizations such as the Philippine Airlines, the SM Group, Solar Entertainment, as well as Japanese businessman Okada.
Security
The confirmed candidates sent by various countries and territories are expected to arrive on 13 January 2017. The Philippine military will serve as security escorts for the candidates of Miss Universe, as assigned by the Philippine national security council.
Marketing
A reality-documentary television program entitled Journey to the Crown: A Celebration of Beauty was shown on ETC on 6 November 2016 in the Philippines as part of marketing of the pageant.
Pageant
Ancillary and other events
Alongside with the main pageant, ancillary events will be held which has no effect on the contestants' total pageant score. The contestants are scheduled to participate in fashion shows in Davao, Cebu, and Vigan. Each venue will have a theme; Mindanao fabric for Davao, Beachwear for Cebu, and Terno for Vigan. The contestants will partake in a different event in Bicol.
Coronation night
The pageant program was initially announced to start at 5 a.m. (UTC+08:00) but it was later announced that the program will run from 8 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. An American entertainer of Filipino descent will perform in the pageant.
In the Philippines, "all local networks" including GMA Network and TV5 will broadcast the pageant upon the request of President Rodrigo Duterte. Solar Entertainment, one of the pageant's partners, was tasked to provide broadcast coverage of the competition.
Presenters
Steve Harvey has a five year contract with the Miss Universe Organization for hosting the Miss Universe pageant. In contrast, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte expressed hesitation on Harvey hosting the event due to Harvey announcing the wrong winner at the Miss Universe 2015. In response, Philippine Department of Tourism head, Secretary Wanda Teo proposed the idea of having a Filipino woman co-host the event to neutralize the president's displeasure. On November 3, 2016, Harvey is confirmed to reprise his role as host of the pageant.
Harvey will be joined by Miss Universe 2015 2nd runner-up Olivia Jordan and Filipina model-TV host, Joey Mead.

Jimenez represented the municipality of Aguadilla at Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2016 and was the 1st runner-up at the pageant.
- Yuliana Korolkova was appointed Miss Universe Russia 2016 by the Miss Russia Organization as a replacement to Yana Dobrovolskaya, the winner of the Miss Russia 2016 pageant, who will compete only at Miss World 2016 due to the conflicting schedules of the two international pageants. The winner of the Miss Russia pageant usually participates at both Miss Universe and Miss World pageants. Korolkova represented Orenburg Oblast at Miss Russia 2016 and was the 1st runner-up at the pageant.
