Meet the All-Star Coaching Panel

Season 28 brings back a mix of fan-favorite and powerhouse coaches, each with unique musical backgrounds and previous wins or redemption arcs to chase.

• Michael Bublé: Returning for his third season, the smooth jazz-pop icon previously served as a mentor on Season 3 and secured a win with Sofronio Vasquez in his coaching debut season.
• Snoop Dogg: After his appearance as a Mega Mentor in Season 20, this marks his second stint as a coach. Though he has yet to secure a win, his unique coaching style has drawn interest from fans.
• Niall Horan: Back for his third coaching run, the former One Direction star has already racked up two wins with Gina Miles in Season 23 and Huntley in Season 24.
• Reba McEntire: A true Voice veteran, Reba will be coaching her fourth season after winning Season 25 with Alabama’s Asher HaVon. She also previously appeared as a Battle Advisor and Mega Mentor in earlier seasons.

Carson Daly Returns as Host

Carson Daly will once again guide audiences through the season, continuing his reign as the only original cast member to appear in all 28 seasons. His consistency and charm remain a grounding presence on the show.

Who Will Be the Mega Mentor?

No announcement has been made about the Mega Mentor for Season 28, but fans can expect a big-name star. Previous seasons featured musical legends like Sheryl Crow and LeAnn Rimes, so the bar is set high for this mystery guest.
