Of the four coaches from the previous season, only Michael Bublé returned, marking his second consecutive season as a coach. Coaches Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, and Snoop Dogg all left the panel. Former coach John Legend returns to the show following his absence in the previous season, marking his tenth season as a coach. Former coach Adam Levine also returns to the show after a ten-season hiatus, marking his seventeenth season on the show as a coach.[3] With Levine's return, this is the first time since season 23 in which at least one coach from the inaugural season is featured. Additionally Kelsea Ballerini joins the panel for her first season as a coach. She has made multiple appearances on the show: she was featured as the "Comeback Stage" coach during the fifteenth season, served as a battle advisor for Kelly Clarkson's team during the sixteenth season, and filled in as a guest coach for Clarkson during the battle rounds in the twentieth season.[4][5]
Carson Daly returns for his twenty-seventh consecutive season as host.
Marketing and promotion
[edit]Ahead of the season's premiere, on January 31, the show, via its online media platforms, released a cover of the 1972 Elton John single "Tiny Dancer" performed by the coaches.[6]
Shortly prior to the season premiere, the blind audition of Ethan Eckenroad, performing Noah Kahan's "Northern Attitude", was released online.[7] Later episodes saw the auditions of Tatum Scott released online as a sneak peek for their respective episodes.

Blind auditions
[edit]The show began with the Blind Auditions on February 3, 2025. In each audition, an artist sings their piece in front of the coaches, whose chairs face the audience. If a coach is interested in working with the artist, they may press their button to face the artist. If only one coach presses the button, the artist automatically becomes part of their team. If multiple coaches turn, they will compete for the artist, who will decide which team they will join. Each coach has one "block" to prevent another coach from getting an artist. This season, each coach ends up with 12 artists by the end of the blind auditions, creating a total of 48 artists advancing to the battles.[8]
The "Coach Replay" button introduced in the previous season returned this season. This season, however, a coach may use it if he/she did not originally turn around, but another/the other coach(es) did turn for the artist. The button allows the user to make themselves eligible for the artist to pick. The recipients of this feature for each team were Dan Kiernan for Team Kelsea, TBA for Team Legend, TBA for Team Bublé, and TBA for Team Adam, respectively.
