‘The Voice’ Undergoes Major Schedule Change Starting Tonight: Everything You Need To Know

Season 26 of The Voice is still young, but the first three episodes have already given us so much. First-time coaches Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé are learning about the show’s competitive nature in real-time from veterans Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani. Several artists have nabbed the coveted four-chair turn, including fan favorite Jeremy Beloate. The Coach Replay button, new this year, is in full swing. If you currently can’t get enough of The Voice, you’re in luck, because we’re about to get twice the fun.

‘The Voice’ Is Moving to Two Episodes A Week

Tuesday’s (Oct. 8) episode marks The Voice’s shift to a twice-weekly format. New episodes will now air Monday and Tuesday at 8 p.m. Eastern on NBC.

Initially, the show cut back to one episode a week to make space for the U.S. presidential election debates and the season 19 finale of America’s Got Talent. Now that both have ended, The Voice will return to its normal twice-weekly schedule.

Blind Auditions continue tonight, with coaches Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg and Gwen Stefani search for their best chance at the season 26 trophy. Blind Auditions wrap up next Tuesday (Oct. 15), with the three-week Battle Rounds kicking off Oct. 21.

The Reason Michael Bublé Decided to Join the Show

The Voice set isn’t entirely new to first-time coach Michael Bublé—and both appearances have Blake Shelton in common.

The Grammy-winning Canadian crooner stepped in as an advisor for Blake Shelton’s team all the way back in season 3. And 12 years later, Bublé says it was the nine-time Voice champ who convinced him to take up the big red chair full time.

You know, I love Blake and he’s a great friend, and he talked me into it. Truthfully, he talked me into it,”. the “Feelin’ Good” singer said in a pre-season Instagram reel. “And a big part of it was the people that they had coming.”

Shelton left The Voice in May 2023, having served as a coach since the show’s 2011 inception.
