The coaches of "The Voice" have meticulously curated and refined their teams throughout the season, aiming to cultivate a duo of singers who they believe possess the winning spark to claim the ultimate crown. The highly anticipated live shows of this singing competition are poised to kick off on Monday evening, where the final octet will vie fiercely for a spot in the grand finale. Last week marked the conclusion of the playoffs, resulting in each coach distilling their teams down to a formidable pair.
On Monday, the remaining contestants will take the stage, their performances destined to captivate the hearts of U.S. viewers who will cast their votes for their favorite interpretations. The following day, Tuesday, contestants will advance regardless of their team allegiance, solely based on the number of votes they receive.
Season 26 heralds the debut of fresh coaches Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé, alongside returning champions Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani, who are both seeking their second triumph. McEntire previously secured victory in Season 25 with soul sensation Asher HaVon, while Stefani reigned supreme in Season 19 with pop prodigy Carter Rubin.
"Snoop's team is vibrant and awe-inspiring, Gwen boasts two talents that are nothing short of incredible, and Reba? She too has two artists who transcend genres and elevate their game each time I witness them," Bublé enthused in an NBC news release. "For me, the most thrilling aspect is the transfer of power to where it truly belongs—in the hands of America."
The Season 26 live shows of "The Voice" will grace television screens on Monday, Dec. 2, at 8 p.m. ET, and continue on Tuesday, Dec. 3, at 9 p.m. ET. Fresh episodes of Season 26 air every Monday and Tuesday night on NBC. Additionally, episodes will be available to stream on Peacock the day after their broadcast.
The coaching panel for Season 26 of "The Voice" comprises Gwen Stefani, Reba McEntire, Michael Bublé, and Snoop Dogg. Stefani returns for her eighth season as a coach, while the Queen of Country, amidst her fourth consecutive tenure, defends her crown from last season. Bublé and Snoop Dogg, meanwhile, embark on their maiden coaching journeys.
