We don’t have to question if The Voice will be cancelled or renewed for a 29th season since NBC has already confirmed the series will be back for 2026. The ratings for this competition series have dropped quite a bit over the years but it remains one of the network’s highest-rated shows. Will NBC begin airing just one cycle a year sometime soon or, will they stay the course and continue to air two cycles a season? Stay tuned.
A singing competition series, The Voice TV show is hosted by Carson Daly (his 28th season) and typically airs on Monday and Tuesday nights. Veteran coaches Michael Bublé (third season), Snoop Dogg (second season), Niall Horan (third season), and Reba McEntire (fourth season) return for season 28. The competition has four stages: blind auditions, battle rounds, knockouts, and live performances. By the end of the blind auditions, 40 performers will have been chosen by the four coaches (10 for each team). They advance to the battles, knockouts, and live performances. Ultimately, only one will receive the $100,000 prize and a record deal with Universal Music Group.
Nielsen Ratings
The Nielsen ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances of survival. This chart is updated as new ratings data becomes available.

Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
