The twenty-seventh season of the American reality television series The Voice premiered on February 3, 2025, on NBC. The season is hosted by Carson Daly who has hosted every season of the show. The coaching panel consists of Michael Bublé, who returns for his second consecutive season; John Legend, who returns for his tenth season after a one-season hiatus; Adam Levine, who returns for his seventeenth season after last coaching during the sixteenth season; and Kelsea Ballerini, who joins the panel as a new coach.
Adam David was named the winner of the season, marking Michael Bublé's second and final consecutive win as a coach. Bublé became the fourth coach to win multiple consecutive seasons, following Blake Shelton's consecutive wins from seasons 2 to 4, Kelly Clarkson's consecutive wins in seasons 14 and 15, and Niall Horan's consecutive wins in seasons 23 and 24. With David's win, Bublé became the third coach (after Clarkson and Horan) to win their first two seasons. David is also the second winning artist to be saved by the Instant Save, following Bryce Leatherwood in season 22. Additionally, David became the third winner in the history of the show to have been a one-chair turn in blind auditions, following Chris Blue and Jake Hoot in seasons 12 and 17, respectively and the second outright where every coach could turn after Hoot in season 17. He also became the first one-chair turn winner to do so with a male coach, that of Bublé.
Overview Development On June 4, 2024, NBC announced that The Voice was renewed for a twenty-seventh season to air in the spring of 2025. On June 5, the lineup of coaches was revealed on the show's website.

Blind auditions 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.
The "Coach Replay" button, introduced in the previous season, returned this season. Once again, each coach os allowed to press their button one time in the span of the blind auditions for an artist that was originally eliminated with no coaches turning. The artist is subsequently defaulted to that team if only one coach use or gets to pick if multiple do so, but the coach is penalized with replay usage if a singer joins that team. The recipients of this feature for each team were Dan Kiernan for Team Kelsea, Ricardo Moreno for Team Bublé, Tinika Wyatt for Team Adam, and Antonio Ramsey for Team Legend, respectively. Three of the four did not have any chair turns, while Dan Kiernan had two.
This is the second instance since season 21's Ariana Grande that a debuting coach (Kelsea Ballerini) does not have any four-chair turns on their team, as Shakira, Usher, Gwen Stefani, Pharrell Williams, Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Nick Jonas, Camila Cabello, Chance the Rapper, Niall Horan, Reba McEntire, Dan + Shay, Michael Bublé, and Snoop Dogg have at least one four-chair turner on their teams on their respective debut seasons.
