Season 30 of NBC’s *The Voice* introduces changes to how contestants are selected, while retaining the show’s blind-audition format and competitive judging. Traditional blocks have been removed, and a new First In Button gives the first judge to turn around priority in claiming an artist, even if other judges subsequently turn.

The season also adds a TikTok Artist of the Season award, allowing viewers to influence the result through likes and shares on the programme’s official TikTok account. The singer with the strongest social-media engagement will win the award; the season began with a three-night premiere on 21 September 2026, followed by episodes on Mondays at 8pm EST.
