Is 'The Voice' New Tonight? Everything to Know About Season 26

The Voice is finally returning Monday (September 23) night with two brand-new stars in the red chairs: Michael Bublé and Snoop Dogg join returning coaches Gwen Stefani and Reba McEntire in Season 26.

Before the long-lived NBC music competition returns with another round of blind auditions, here’s everything to know about the season ahead.

The Voice Season 26 Coaches Panel

Bublé, Snoop, McEntire, and Stefani will join forces as the all-new lineup of The Voice coaches in Season 26. While Stefani is the most seasoned veteran of the bunch, none of them are strangers to The Voice stage.

The network describes Bublé as “an unstoppable talent known for his world-class showmanship” who will be bringing “his singular style and vocal power to the dynamic coaching panel.” Bublé has appeared on The Voice before, having served as a Season 3 advisor to Team Blake (see below).

Snoop also appeared on a previous season of the reality competition series; he served as a mega mentor in Season 20. “Already known as Coach Snoop in the world of sports, he now takes his skills from the field to the Voice stage,” NBC said. “An industry mogul and globally recognized innovator, Snoop Dogg taps into his extensive work in music and unique approach as an entertainer to bolster the competition.”

Bublé joined in on the announcement by co-posting with The Voice on Instagram. “Pass the excitement for your Season 26 Coaches of #TheVoice,” the Instagram caption reads.

Season 26 marks McEntire’s third consecutive season as a Voice coach and Stefani’s eighth season overall. The Voice Season 25’s coaches were McEntire, John Legend, Chance the Rapper, and country music duo Dan + Shay. Season 27’s lineup includes Legend, Bublé, returning OG coach Adam Levine, and newcomer Kelsea Ballerini.
