‘The Voice’ Season 26, What To Know

The Voice Season 26 is fast approaching. Fans are in for new surprises from the coaches’ seats to the schedule. Here is what to know about the upcoming season.

This Is The Voice

If it’s hard to tell by the number of seasons they are on, The Voice is a very popular TV show. The show is known for being unique to other talent shows.

The Voice has the judges facing away from the stage with a button in front of them. Additionally, since the judges are unable to see the performer, they are solely judging based on the voice, rather than the appearance.

Once the judge decides they want to add the talented singer to their team, they hit their button and their chair will turn around to face the stage and performer. At the end of their performance, if more than one judge has turned, the performers can choose which team they would like to be a part of.

The Judges

There have been some changes made to the judges’ chairs this season. Some names have been removed and some have been added. Furthermore, some familiar faces will be returning.

Reba is returning for her third season and Gwen Stefani is returning for her eighth season. Additionally, this is only the second time that the two have sat in the judges’ seats for the same season.

The final two coaches are joining for the first time. John Legend is not returning this season, unfortunately. However, Michael Bublé and Snoop Dogg will be joining as first-time coaches. Bublé has appeared on the show before, but not as a coach. He was selected as an advisor in Season 3 for Blake Shelton’s team.

Releasing And Scheduling

Season 26 of The Voice will sing its way onto TV screens Monday, September 23rd at 8/7c on NBC. Furthermore, the first episode will be two hours long to serve as an introduction to the upcoming season, coaches, and of course, blind auditions.

Things are switching up for the fall in terms of episode release. The new episodes will only be released on Mondays for the first two weeks to leave space for the Vice Presidential debate on Tuesday, October 1st. Things will go back to normal soon after as episodes will be released on Mondays and Tuesdays. Therefore, The Voice will grace screens on Tuesday nights beginning October 8th.

The season might still fly by as blind auditions will conclude in mid-October. Moreover, the winner will be crowned in late November. However, this is all subject to change.

Don’t worry if you miss anything because each episode will be available on Peacock the day after.
