The twenty-sixth season of the American reality television series The Voice is set to premiere on September 23, 2024, on NBC. The season will be hosted by Carson Daly, who will return for his twenty-sixth season. The coaching panel will consist of Reba McEntire, who returns for her third season; returning coach Gwen Stefani, who returns for her eighth season after a one-season hiatus; and debuting coaches Michael Bublé and Snoop Dogg.
On May 10, 2024, NBC announced that The Voice was renewed for a twenty-sixth season to air in the fall of that year.[1] On May 13, the lineup of coaches was unveiled at the network's upfront presentation for the 2024–25 United States network television schedule at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City.[2] [3]
Of the four coaches that participated in the previous season, only Reba McEntire returned, marking her third season as a coach. Coaches Chance the Rapper, Dan + Shay, and John Legend all departed the panel for the season. The latter two coaches both cited their ongoing concert tours as reasons for their departure.[4] [5]
Former coach Gwen Stefani returns to the show following her absence in the previous season, marking her eighth season as a coach.[6] Canadian singer-songwriter Michael Bublé and rapper Snoop Dogg join the coaching panel for their first seasons,[7] marking the first time since season 23 in which two coaches were introduced in a season. Both new coaches previously appeared on the show: Bublé previously served as a battle advisor for Team Blake on season 3,[8] while Snoop Dogg served as a mega mentor on season 20 during the Knockouts.[9] [10] With Bublé's debut, he becomes the first Canadian to serve as a coach on the American adaptation of The Voice.[11]
Carson Daly returns for his twenty-sixth season as host.
Ahead of the season's premiere, on July 26, the show, via its online media platforms, released a cover of the 1966 Four Tops single "Reach Out I'll Be There" performed by the coaches.[12]

The show begins with the blind auditions. In each audition, an artist sings their piece in front of the coaches, whose chairs face the audience. If a coach is interested in working with the artist, they may press their button to face the artist. If only one coach presses the button, the artist becomes part of their team. If multiple coaches turn, they will compete for the artist, who will decide which team they will join. Each coach has one "block" to prevent another coach from getting an artist. The team sizes for the season are yet to be announced.
