“The Voice” is officially set to return for Season 29 at NBC with a format revamp and the coaching lineup set.

Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, and Adam Levine will all return as coaches for Season 29, which will air in spring 2026. Clarkson will film “The Voice” and “The Kelly Clarkson Show” concurrently.

NBC is calling Season 29 “The Voice: Battle of Champions,” named due to the fact the coaching panel is comprised entirely of “Voice” winners. Coaches will enter the competition with 10 artists per team. The new season will feature four rounds, each featuring a “Voice” first. Those are:

–Blinds: Coaches compete against each other in the “Triple Turn Competition” (vying for the most three-chair turns) with the winner gaining a special advantage in the next round.

–Battles: The coach with the most three-chair turns automatically earns a “Super Steal” for the Battles. This can only be used once and trumps any other coach’s attempt to steal, guaranteeing a win.

–Knockouts: Each coach brings back two fan-favorite artists from their teams in previous seasons to compete in an “In-Season All-Star Competition.” All-stars represent their former coaches as they battle in head-to-head sing-offs. The coach with the most sing-off wins is guaranteed a second finalist in the finale. For this special episode, coaches call upon original “Voice” coach CeeLo Green to sit in on the competition and determine the winner of each All-Star Showdown.

–Semi-Final and Finale Week: Kicks off with a Top 9 Semi-final and culminates in the Top 4 Finale. For the first time in show history, a new voting block comprised of super fans and past “Voice” artists will have the opportunity to get in on the fun firsthand, experiencing the competition as part of the in-studio audience voting for their favorites in real time during the semi-finals and finale.

Season 28 of “The Voice” is slated to debut this fall. Michael Bublé, Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan, and Reba McEntire will serve as the coaches.

“The Voice” is a presentation of MGM Television, Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon, and ITV Studios The Voice USA, Inc. The series was created by John de Mol, who serves as an executive producer along with Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson, Adam H. Sher and Barry Poznick.
