As the fall TV season kicks off, fans of “The Voice” are eagerly anticipating the show’s return. Season 26 promises to bring exciting changes and fresh talent to the popular singing competition.
Premiere Date And Viewing Information
The 26th season of “The Voice” will premiere on NBC on Monday, September 23, at 8/7c. This season’s first show will be a two-hour special introducing the new coaches and going into the blind auditions.
After the premiere, episodes will be broadcast on Tuesdays from 9 to 10 p.m. and Mondays from 8 to 10 p.m. Peacock streams episodes the day after they air.
Coach Lineup
Season 26’s coaching staff includes both returning favorites and new faces. Reba McEntire, a country music icon, will return for her third season, while Gwen Stefani will return for her eighth.
Two newcomers are to join them: hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg and Canadian vocalist Michael Bublé. Snoop Dogg and Bublé will make their coaching debuts, adding a new dynamic to the performance.
Snoop Dogg, known for his crucial role in hip-hop, expressed his delight with a teaser trailer titled “The best coach is the D O double G.” Bublé, who is known for his gentle vocal approach, will give the red chair a unique spin.
Season 26 Schedule And Format
The season will proceed according to the well-known format of the competition, which consists of live performances, blind auditions, battle rounds, knockouts, and playoffs.
During the blind auditions, coaches will be facing away from the performers and will only turn their seats in response to strong performance.
Coaches compete against each other in the combat rounds, giving rival coaches the opportunity to take performers. The knockout rounds allow performers to sing their own songs, with the playoffs leading up to live performances where the audience’s votes determine the winner.
Additional Details
New episodes will air in a slightly adjusted schedule due to external events, including a Vice Presidential debate. The first two weeks will have only Monday night episodes, resuming the full schedule with Tuesday night episodes starting October 8.
To watch “The Voice” live, viewers can tune in on NBC or stream via services like Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, DirecTV Stream, fuboTV, or YouTube TV. Peacock subscribers can also watch episodes on-demand the following day.
With this blend of familiar faces and new personalities, Season 26 of “The Voice” is set to deliver another exciting round of blind auditions and musical battles.
