Heading into this fall, TV fans should be extra vigilant about keeping up with their favorite shows’ schedules and some potential changes ahead. There are at least major general election debates ahead — Kamala Harris and Donald Trump on September 10, and VP hopefuls Tim Walz and JD Vance on October 1. Plus, there’s the matter of actual election day, on November 5, which the major broadcasters will undoubtedly preempt programming to cover.
One show that’ll see some major changes to its scheduling pattern is The Voice on NBC.
TV Insider has confirmed the following schedule changes (which are, as always, subject to change): For the first two weeks of Season 26, there will only be Monday night episodes, making room for the VP debate on the second week instead of the usual Monday and Tuesday back-to-back airings. Then, things will get on a more usual course with Monday and Tuesday airings except for election night, on which there will not be a new episode.
