How to Watch
Watch The Voice Season 29 premiere Monday, February 23 at 9/8c on NBC and Peacock.
Get your game faces on and get ready to pledge your allegiance to Team Kelly, Team Legend or Team Adam. Season 29 of The Voice, also known as The Voice: Battle of Champions, premieres in February 2026, and we couldn’t be more excited.
Season 29 will have all of the elements of The Voice you know and love — Blind Auditions, Battles, fan voting, etc. — but a few tweaks to the format will shake things up. With only three Coaches instead of the usual four, competition between them will be especially tense.
And what Coaches they are! Coaching GOATs John Legend, Kelly Clarkson, and Adam Levine are not only best-selling, award-winning artists in their own rights, they’ve all also coached Artists to The Voice glory before. No learning curve here; they came to play.
In fact, they have their own mini-game going during the Blind Auditions this time around. When all three Coaches want an Artist, it’ll be called a Triple Turn, and the Coach who ends up recruiting the most Triple Turn winners to their team will get a Super Steal during the Battles round. The Coaches have always kept tabs on their popularity, but now it’s an official part of the competition!

Good thing they’re all friends. Clarkson even felt comfortable enough to make a (tiny) dig at Legend’s most famous song during an interview with Hot Ones host Sean Evans, getting out of a particularly hot wing by admitting that while she loves “All of Me,” it’s a bit overplayed. “I love you, John Legend, I love ‘All of Me.’ But I need a minute. I need a minute,” she teased on The Kelly Clarkson Show. And it’s that kind of candor that’ll make this such a fun season!

As always, the season starts with Blind Auditions, where Artists perform a song, unseen, for the Coaches in the hopes that one or more will press the red button indicating they’d like to work with that Artist. It’s a nerve-wracking experience where song selection matters as much as ability, and many eventual Voice competitors have to audition for multiple seasons to make it past this stage.
Following the premiere, the Blind Auditions continue on March 2 and March 9, also at 9/8c. Episodes of The Voice are two hours long, and there are more twists coming down the pike: an All-Star competition, an alumni jury that influences the voting rounds, and some very special guests.

One thing that remains the same is the high quality of talent and artistry, which is EGOT winner John Legend’s favorite part of the job.
”I love that we get to be surrounded by so much talent and it’s really inspiring, truthfully,” Legend told NBC Insider in 2024. “I learn so much from being on this show. I learn from coaching. I learn from the interaction I have with these Artists, and it’s very renewing because, you know, I’ve been making records for, like, 20 years now, and to be around Artists that have that hunger and that excitement is very renewing for me, and I love that experience.”
