Here when The Voice comes back in February 2026

The Voice: Battle of Champions premieres on Monday, February 23, 2026 at 9/8c on NBC. The show will then air Monday nights at 9/8c. As always, episodes will be available to stream the next day on Peacock. Season 29 will feature a slew of new format changes that will surely shake up the competition. From the Coaches competing for the most 3-Chair Turns to a Super Steal rule in Battles, you’ve never watched a Voice season like this.

Speaking to NBC Insider, Coach Legend opened up about why he enjoys being a Coach so much. ”I love that we get to be surrounded by so much talent and it’s really inspiring, truthfully,” he said. “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.”

Legend also loves that the show gives him work-life balance. “I also love that, you know, I live here in Los Angeles, I have four kids. It’s nice to work at home, basically, you know? And [to] be able to take my kids to school in the morning and then go to work, but honestly, the inspiration that I get from these Artists every single time is very renewing for me, and it doesn’t get old,” he said.

The Voice Season 29 (Battle of Champions) format and rule changes, explained

Season 29 introduces a high-stakes, three-Coach face-off where strategy, risk, and legacy collide. Each of the competition’s four rounds will deliver a first-ever element, so there’s something to love for fans old and new.

The Triple Turn Competition in the Blind Auditions

Our three Coaches will compete against each other in a Triple Turn Competition, in which they’ll attempt to score the most 3-Chair Turns, with the winner gaining a special advantage in the next round. (More on that below.) Coaches will end the Blind Auditions with 10 Artists each.

The Battle Rounds will feature a new Super Steal

Whichever Coach wins the Triple Turn Competition will earn a Super Steal for the Battles. This game-changing prize can only be used once and negates any other Coach’s attempt to Steal, guaranteeing their win.

CeeLo Green and former Voice Artists are returning for the Knockouts

For the Knockouts, each Coach will bring back two Artists from their former teams for an In-Season All-Star Competition. The selected All-Stars will represent their Coaches in head-to-head sing-offs, and the Coach with the most sing-off wins is guaranteed two Artists from their Season 29 team in the Finale.

Season 1 Coach CeeLo Green will return to the show to judge the In-Season All-Star Competition.

More Voice Artists will return to vote in the Season 29 Semi-Finals and Finale

The Season 29 Semi-Finals will kick off with the Top 9 performances and culminate in the Top 4 Finale. For the first time ever, a new voting block comprised of super-fans and past Voice Artists will have the opportunity to weigh in firsthand. They’ll experience the competition as part of the in-studio audience voting for their favorites in real time during the Semi-Finals and Finale.
