Kelly Clarkson Returning for Season 30 of ‘The Voice’

Kelly Clarkson is dropping her daytime television talk show, but she’ll still be on NBC primetime. The singer is returning to The Voice for Season 30 in the Fall of 2026.

This marks Clarkson’s 11th season as judge on the singing reality show. She’s won four times, during Seasons 14, 15, 17 and 21.

During the recently wrapped Season 29, she coached Liv Ciara to a second-place finish behind Alexia Jayy.

The Voice Season 30 Coaches – What We Know

• Adam Levine and two unannounced celebrities will be coaches for Season 30 of The Voice. This returns the show to the standard four-chair panel.
• Gold Derby says one of the new coaches will be truly new to the show.
• John Legend joined Levine and Clarkson for Season 29. He may or may not be on the panel in the fall.

Historically, country singer Blake Shelton has coached the most seasons of The Voice (23), followed by Levine (18) and then Clarkson and Legend (11 each).

When Does The Voice Season 30 Begin?

Historically, Voice has always started in mid to late-September after a summer filming season. No official announcement has been made about Season 30 in 2026.

The format of the show should return to what fans experienced during Seasons 1-28.

This spring, production switched to a Battle of Champions format that featured only three judges and a mid-season competition between past winners.

Longtime viewers know the rules and format are always changing on the show, however, so it’s not hard to imagine something brand new for later this year.
