‘The Voice’ Season 30 Premiere Date & First Week Schedule Revealed
We’re just two months away from Season 30 of The Voice, and when NBC announced its fall schedule on June 24, we finally learned when the milestone season will premiere. This news comes after the confirmation of all four Season 30 coaches in May.
Gear up for a big first week of episodes, as The Voice will be airing three times during premiere week. Below, we rounded up everything to know about the upcoming season, including when you can catch the first episode and more. Scroll down to find out!
When does The Voice Season 30 premiere?
The Voice Season 30 premieres on Monday, September 21. The show will air from 8/7c to 10/9c. Then, on Tuesday, September 22, it will be on from 8/7c to 9/8c, and then again in the same one-hour time slot on Wednesday, September 23.
After the first week, Season 30 will air on Mondays from 8/7c to 10/9c in September and October, then switch to a one-hour slot at 9/8c on Monday nights in November.
Who are the coaches for The Voice Season 30?
Adam Levine and Kelly Clarkson are both set to return, along with newcomers Queen Latifah and Riley Green. Latifah was the last coach announced to the lineup on May 12 via NBC.
Prior to that, Green shared his addition to the crew at a concert on May 9, then later posted on Instagram, “I guess y’all can start calling me coach… see ya this fall. @nbcthevoice #thevoice.”
After the Season 29 finale aired in April, Levine told People that he will be back for Season 30. “I’m having so much fun doing it,” he revealed. “Since I came back a few seasons ago it’s just been a blast and I’m super happy to keep it going as long as they’ll have me.”
Clarkson’s return was announced via The Voice‘s Instagram on May 7. “Please give a warm welcome back to Coach Kelly Clarkson! The Voice returns this fall,” the caption read.

Normally, there are four coaches on the show, although Season 29 changed things up and only had three coaches (Levine, Clarkson, and John Legend) due to the once-a-week episodes and shorter overall season. NBC has not revealed whether Season 30 will switch back to four coaches.
What is the format for The Voice Season 30?
The Blind Auditions are what makes The Voice unique, so those will undoubtedly return if there’s a new season. Should the show follow the format of recent seasons, the Battle Rounds will follow the Blinds. In the Battles, the coaches pair up their artists to perform duets, then pick one to move on. There are often Steals available in this round, although the amount given to each coach varies by season. In the past, some seasons have also allowed the coaches a Save to use in the Battle Rounds, as well.
Generally, the Knockout Rounds follow the Battles. In this round, the coaches pair up their remaining singers again, but this time, they give individual performances, with only one moving on. This round has also featured Steals on certain seasons.
A major change in Season 29 is that there are no Live Shows, which means that viewers will not get a chance to vote for their favorite artists. Instead, the entire season was pre-taped and voting was done in-house, with an audience of past contestants and super fans making the decisions in the later rounds. It remains to be seen whether that format will return for Season 30.

Very disappointed in season 29..why watch if you can’t vote???

Do not like Season 29. I like it when the viewers are allowed to vote and the show is live. Disappointment in Season 29

C
I hope Blake comes back for season 30?

Yes, next season needs to be four coaches, and include public vote! My coach choices would be: Adam Levine, John Legend, Niall Horan, and Reba or Lady Gaga, or another female artist, but NOT Kelly!

I enjoyed Adam this season more than I did in the past. I'd agree with Niall, but would love to see Kelly back. Not a big John or Reba fan, don't seem very genuine to me. I liked Nick Jonas too. I watch on Peacock so never vote anyway.

at first i thought the show seemed a little low rent, but soon i was enjoying it almost as much as usual. the lack of live shows doesn't bother me. i'm on the west coast, and could never vote anyway.

I thought Season 29 worked out great! I was okay not voting and they left out a lot of the unnecessary fluff from previous seasons (although I could have done without the "sports" guys and Jimmy Butler sketch. I also think with the extra team member, Kelly should have been allowed to choose and not the audience. She probably would have chosen JW. I also really enjoyed hearing from the winner AFTER they won. AND, bonus, there was a video of Alexia Jay's new song. Live is overrated when so many people stack the deck and use multiple devices to vote for their favorites and not necessarily the best voice!

I'm afraid I didn't even finish watching season 29. Wasn't a fan of the format. I hope to see Reba, Kelly, Adam, and Snoop in a season.
-
B
Sorry to see Kelly coming back I think it’s a mistake and just look at other similar comments on dislikes of Kelly on The Voice. Most all other coaches are fine.
-
D
I agree!!

I didn't watch the 3 coach deal especially Kelly with her big mouth. Also need 4 coaches
-
S
Still cannot believe Kelly did not choose Jonah. I have watched every season. If Kelly returns, I will not.
-
C
I like having 4 coaches better. Not much of a fan of Kelly. My favorite coaches have been John, Niall, Kelsea, Reba, and Blake. I hope the Voice continues for a good long time!
