Voice Season 30 Unveils First-In Button, Six Weeks of Live Shows and Fresh Voting

Season 30 of The Voice introduces a First-In Button during Blind Auditions, a 'Cut Week' that trims contestants to a Top 12 (with one more spot via viewer vote to reach Top 13), and six weeks of live shows simulcast on NBC and Peacock with results determined by the east coast broadcast. Voting options include texting a contestant’s name or leaving the contestant’s name as a comment on The Voice’s TikTok post. The live shows will feature weekly themes (Dolly Parton Week, Y2K, TikTok) and a refreshed coaching lineup of Adam Levine, Kelly Clarkson, Queen Latifah, and Riley Green. The season premieres Sept. 21, 2026 (8/7c) with a two-hour premiere, followed by hour-long episodes on Tuesday and Wednesday, and NBC touts the biggest elimination in Voice history.
