The Voice: First Night of Battles Airs March 16, 2026

The battle is officially on for The Voice: Battle of Champions. After Coaches Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine and John Legend duked it out in this season's all-new Triple Turn Competition, the teams are full and the show moves into the Battles round. An all-new episode airs Monday, March 16, at 9/8c on NBC, with the episode available to stream the next day on Peacock.

During the Battles, coaches pair two Artists from their team to perform the same song together, then choose one winner. Each coach has one Steal to take an eliminated Artist from another team; Clarkson also holds a single Super Steal that can override other steals.

Battle Advisors are on hand for rehearsals: Jennifer Hudson with Team Kelly, Muni Long with Team Legend and Benji Madden with Team Adam. The first three weeks of Blind Auditions introduced standout performers such as 14-year-old country singer AJ Robinson, Mikenley Brown, whose “ethereal” cover earned a 3-Chair Turn, and Syd Millevoi, whose spirited audition prompted Levine to ask, "Did you just win The Voice?
