The Voice Season 29 Contestants So Far : Most Memorable Blind Auditions
The Voice 2026 Blind Auditions: Full Contestants List, Results, Standout Performances & Coach Teams (Season 29 Battle of Champions)
The Voice returned in 2026 with a fresh twist: Season 29: Battle of Champions, featuring only three legendary coaches—Adam Levine (3-time winner), Kelly Clarkson (4-time winner), and John Legend (Season 16 winner)—battling to build elite 10-artist teams.
No block buttons this season means open competition, and the new Triple Turn Competition awards points for every 3-chair turn secured, with the leader earning a powerful Super Steal in the Battle Rounds.
Blind Auditions kicked off February 23, 2026, with Week 2 airing March 2. Week 3 airs March 9. Episodes stream next-day on Peacock. Adam Levine currently dominates the Triple Turn standings after going “fully insane” for picks like country singer Hunter Jordan.
