Catch A First Look At Season 28 Of "The Voice" & Learn When It Will Premiere

Don’t change that channel, but do adjust your schedule. The Voice has an upcoming schedule adjustment you need to be aware of. So far for Season 28, the show has aired twice a week, on Monday and Tuesday nights. Things will be slightly different going froward, but we have all the details here.

'The Voice' Season 28 Battle Advisors Include Former Coaches

There are four all-new elements to the show in Season 28, beginning with the Blinds, as Carson Daly will be given his first-ever Carson Callback Card. The Carson Callback Card allows the host to surprise a deserving artist of his choice who receives no chair turns with a second chance at the blind auditions.

In the Battles, the coaches will call upon their artists to form their own battle pairs. Previously, the coaches would choose who goes head-to-head in the round.

During the Knockouts, each coach will be given a Mic Drop button to be used on a contestant on their very own team that impresses them. From there, viewers at home will have the opportunity to vote for the Mic Drop winner among the hosts. The contestant with the most votes will be awarded a performance at The Rose Parade Presented by Honda on Jan. 1, 2026.

During the Playoffs, each coach will select one contestant from their team to advance to the Lives. Viewers will vote on the fifth and sixth finalist. Last season, each coach got to choose two contestants to advance to the Lives.

The judges have some stake in the game. Bublé is returned after two back-to-back wins on Seasons 27 and 26. Horan returned after winning Seasons 23 and 24. McEntire made her coaching debut on Season 24 and became a coach on Seasons 25 and 26. She won Season 25. Snoop coached on Season 26.

What’s the new schedule for The Voice Season 28?

Starting this week, The Voice airs only on Mondays at 8/7c on NBC. As always, episodes are available the next day on Peacock. There are no new episodes on Tuesdays.

The next new Tuesday episode will be on Tuesday, December 16. Mark your calendars!

The Voice fans are vocal online, and the Coaches notice

During a recent candid moment between performances on The Voice, Coach Bublé opened up about the can’t-win dilemma of choosing between the insanely talented Artists. You always end up sending a great singer home! “You know what’s amazing, you guys?” the reigning champion Coach told the in-studio audience. “That online, no matter what I choose, we’re gonna get killed for making the wrong choice. There’s gonna be 50 percent of the people that say, ‘You idiot!’”

Still, Bublé sees no downsides to the show, for him or for the Artists. “There’s literally not one negative part [of the show],” Bublé told NBC Insider after his first season. “This is about the Artists, for the Artists. It’s not about us…There’s a reason why we’ve come and gone, and the people in the red seats change, but the show stays successful. It’s because they’ve made sure that they are so protective of the Artists.”

“My favorite part about it,” he added, “was when I had to let people go for the first time, I was upset about it. Until I realized that their lives had changed. Until I realized that their careers had started. They started to create a business that could go on…just from being on this massive TV program that has 7 to 11 million people watching all over the planet.”

McEntire has a similarly positive attitude. “Every day that we’re working on The Voice, I’m learning more from [the Coaches] how to let [Artists] down easy if they don’t get picked up,” she told Newsweek during her first season. “Like, if none of the Coaches turn around, they’re going home immediately. And so it’s good just to say, ‘If you want to come back again, try it again next season, maybe a song that suits you, one that you’re really comfortable with and that really shows your talent.’”
