Today, NBC announced that The Voice is going to be back for season 29 at the beginning of 2026, who will be coaching, and the changes they are making to make it more thrilling.
The Voice: Battle of Champions sees the return of three Champions: Kelly Clarkson (four times), Adam Levine (three times), and John Legend (once). The first time that all the Coaches are winners.
Since it is a battle of three competitive Coaches, be prepared for it to be a fast-paced competition.
Four rounds, each featuring a distinct “Voice” first:
- Blinds: Coaches compete against each other in the “Triple Turn Competition” (vying for the most three-chair turns) with the winner gaining a special advantage in the next round.
- Battles: The coach with the most three-chair turns automatically earns a “Super Steal” for the Battles. This coveted prize can only be used once and trumps any other coach’s attempt to steal, guaranteeing a win.
- Knockouts: Each coach brings back two fan-favorite artists from their teams in previous seasons to compete in an “In-Season All-Star Competition.” All-stars represent their former coaches as they battle in head-to-head sing-offs. The coach with the most sing-off wins is guaranteed a second finalist in the finale. For this special episode, coaches call upon original Voice coach CeeLo Green to sit in on the competition and determine the winner of each All-Star Showdown.
- Semi-Final and Finale Week: Kicks off with a Top 9 Semi-final and culminates in the Top 4 Finale. For the first time in show history, a new voting block comprised of super fans and past “Voice” artists will have the opportunity to get in on the fun firsthand, experiencing the competition as part of the in-studio audience voting for their favorites in real time during the semi-finals and finale.
After the Blinds, each coach with have ten artists. How long they get to keep those artists, we will have to tune in to see.
Season 28 returns in the Fall with Michael Bublé, Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan, and Reba McEntire.
