Is ‘The Voice’ new tonight?

The Voice typically airs new episodes on both Monday and Tuesday nights. However, there won’t be any singing on NBC tonight. It’s Election Day in the U.S., so NBC will instead air Decision 2022: The Balance of Power, including in-depth coverage of this year’s midterm elections. The program runs from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., cutting into The Voice’s usual 8 p.m. air time.

‘The Voice’ Season 22 returns with live shows next week

Now that Knockout Rounds are over, it’s time for The Voice Season 22 teams to move onto the live shows. For those new to the competition, this phase will see fans vote for their favorite artists each week. The artists perform on Monday nights, followed by results shows on Tuesdays. It all begins with the Top 16 performances on Monday, Nov. 14, at 8 p.m. ET.
