Season 28 of The Voice is winding down, and the next installment isn’t far off! In July, NBC confirmed that a 29th season called The Voice: Battle of Champions would be coming in 2026.
While the coaching panel and more information about the Season 29 special format were revealed at the time, it wasn’t until four months later that the premiere date was confirmed. On November 12, the network revealed when the show will return in 2026, and it will be coming back with a bang, as the first week of programming will include THREE two-hour episodes.
