When will The Voice season 20 premiere? We don’t know yet!
It’s SUPER WEIRD that NBC hasn’t announced the premiere date of The Voice season 20 yet! The network held a virtual Winter TCA earlier this week–the perfect time to make an announcement, but not a word.
The Covid-19 pandemic has certainly made it tough for networks to set schedules in stone (For instance, The Grammy’s moved from the end of January to March. There will be a Tony Awards ceremony, but CBS has yet to schedule the event).
NBC Keeps Pushing Up The Voice 20 Battle Round and Knockout Tapings
The Blind Auditions were taped back in October. NBC’s filming schedule seemed on track. But oddly enough, the Battle Round tapings have been rescheduled TWICE. First, it was set for Monday February 26 and Tuesday February 27. Then the dates moved to Monday February 1 and Tuesday February 3.
Now, the round is scheduled to tape on Friday February 5 and Saturday February 6. The Knockout taping schedule has changed as well. It moved from Friday February 5 to Saturday February 13 and Tuesday February 16.

Ellen’s Game of Games Airs Monday Nights on NBC at least through March 1

But the season could begin even later than March 8th if The Voice runs another 8 week season like it did in the fall.

A tiny tidbit: According to posters over at Idol Forums, during a taping, Blake mentioned that country duo Dan + Shay would mentor his Battle Round pairings.
