The Voice concluded its 27th season in May and is already confirmed to be coming back for Season 28 in the fall of 2025. But can we expect more of the singing competition in the future?

On Tuesday, July 22, NBC set the coaching panel and released details about the special format for Season. 29. Scroll down for updates on everything we know about the future of The Voice.

Will The Voice return for Season 29?

Yes! While the July 22 announcement makes it official, it’s not too surprising given there were tickets available for Blind Audition tapings for the 29th season. Fans could apply for tickets to attend tapings on July 21, July 22, and July 23 in California. The same website also offered tickets to Season 28 Blind Audition tapings on July 7, July 8, July 9, and July 10.

Who are The Voice Season 29 coaches?

There will be three coaches for Season 29, which will feature a special format revamp (more on that below). Fan-favorites Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, and Adam Levine will reclaim their red chairs for Season 29. Clarkson will film The Voice and The Kelly Clarkson Show Season 7 concurrently through a coordinated filming schedule that has already been worked out between the two production teams.

Season 28 will feature Reba McEntire, Niall Horan, Snoop Dogg, and Michael Bublé as the coaches in the big red chairs. All four superstars have coached on the show in the past, but this is the first time this foursome will be on the panel all together.

What is new about The Voice Season 29’s format?

In a first for the hit competition, the upcoming cycle will be dubbed The Voice: Battle of Champions, with a major revamp to the longstanding format and nodding to the powerhouse coaches who form the only panel in the show’s history comprised entirely of Voice winners.  Coaches enter the competition with 10 artists per team.

There will be four rounds, each with 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.

When does The Voice Season 29 premiere?

The Voice Season 29 is set to premiere in spring 2026. An exact date has yet to be announced, but if scheduling is the same as it’s been in recent years, we can likely expect a February 2026 return.

Season 28 will start in September 2025 and will likely wrap ahead of the holidays in December. While other shows, including Dancing With the Stars and American Idol, now only have one season per year, The Voice still airs two.
