The Voice is set to return to NBC this fall with a fresh lineup of coaches and a new timeslot format. Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan, and Reba McEntire will join Michael Bublé on the coaching panel, replacing Adam Levine, John Legend, and Kelsea Ballerini. Snoop Dogg previously appeared as a coach in Season 26, while McEntire had a three-season run between Seasons 24 and 26.
One Direction’s Niall Horan served as a coach during Seasons 23 and 24. The show’s tradition of rotating coaches helps keep the competition fresh, and this fall’s changes come as the series adjusts its schedule to accommodate NBC’s programming needs.
The new season will premiere with two-hour episodes airing on both Mondays and Tuesdays in September but will later reduce to a single night per week due to NBC’s acquisition of NBA broadcast rights. The first Tuesday night will coincide with the finale of America’s Got Talent, followed by three weeks of The Voice on Tuesday evenings. Once the NBA schedule begins, the show will primarily air on Monday nights.
The Monday episodes will start as two hours but will eventually scale back to one hour when NBC launches its new comedies, including St. Denis Medical at 8 p.m., alongside The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, starring Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe, and several comedy pilots like Stumble and an untitled community center series by Sierra Teller Ornelas. This two-hour Monday run is expected to last about six weeks before the reduction.
Because the NBA schedule remains somewhat fluid, there may be some additional Tuesday episodes of The Voice in December. The series is produced by MGM Television, Warner Bros Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon and ITV Studios. The showrunner and executive producer is Morrissey, who works alongside Mark Burnett, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson, Adam H. Sher, and Barry Poznick. Hosted by Carson Daly, The Voice continues to adapt its format and schedule to maintain its place as a prominent fixture in reality TV music competitions.
