Is there anything that can't be improved with the addition of a little Snoop Dogg? "The Voice" has two new coaches – Michael Bublé says hi – but there's no question who the hottest ticket in town is. One way or another, the competition's getting smoked.
"The Voice" season 26 airs on NBC in the U.S. and CTV2 in Canada on Mondays — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.
► U.S. date and time: "The Voice" season 16 airs on NBC from 8 p.m. ET/PT on Mondays, starting September 23.
• TV channel — NBC via Sling / Fubo
• U.S. stream — Peacock
• Canada — CTV2
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk-free
Fresh from overshadowing actual Olympians at Paris 2024, the artist formerly known as Snoop Doggy Dogg has taken residence in one of the red chairs. For all of the jaw-dropping talent waiting to be unearthed, "The Voice" lives and dies by the charisma of its coaches, and which bodes extremely well for season 26.
While Chance the Rapper, John legend and Dan + Shay have said their goodbyes, firm favorites Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani have returned, as has veteran host Carson Daly, while Bublé, who's hailing himself as the “future winner” of the show on social media, has made the step up from advisor to fully-fledged mentor.
