While last season averaged 3.8 million viewers, peaking at 4.8 million during the premiere, The Voice is gearing up for its return with a fresh 15th season. A perfect opportunity to discover new talents and fresh voices. This year, over 65,000 applications were reviewed to select just 130 contestants, ranging in age from 16 to 75.
So, who will have the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Louane, Kendji Girac, MB14, Camille Lellouche, or Amir? It’s still too early to say. But The Voice is determined to keep this momentum going, while offering a fresh take on the show, including the introduction of a new quartet of coaches and innovative game mechanics.
To catch the 15th edition of The Voice and discover the latest season, tune in to TF1 on Saturday, February 28, 2026, the day after the Enfoirés concert. As always, the show will air in prime time, with Nikos Aliagas hosting the event.
With a new season comes a fresh lineup of coaches! For this 15th edition, viewers will once again see familiar faces, including the legendary Florent Pagny, who has enthusiastically return for this anniversary season. Known as a staple coach and a six-time winner, Florent Pagny remains an undeniable cornerstone of the show.
Having served as a coach on The Voice Kids from 2018 to 2019 and on The Voice: La Plus Belle Voix from 2020 to 2023, Amel Bent makes her return to the red chair this year. Fans can be sure she'll continue to guide her team of young talents with her expert advice and encouragement.
Looking for another talented female artist to sit in the red chair for this season 15 of The Voice? Lara Fabian steps into the spotlight! The renowned singer, songwriter, and performer with her powerful voice is sure to be a formidable coach, thanks in part to her high artistic standards.
Finally, for this special anniversary edition of The Voice, TF1 is bringing something new to the table with the guest appearance of... Tayc! Singer, songwriter, performer, and all-around musician, Tayc is juggling multiple projects, both solo and alongside Dadju for the album « Héritage ». Having already taken over the Paris Arena and Paris La Défense Arena, Tayc's presence is sure to bring a breath of fresh air to the competition.
To add some spice to the show and introduce a strategic element for the judges, TF1 announced the launch of a Secret Weapon. This will be an exclusive joker held by each coach, unknown to the other judges, which could drastically change the dynamics of the Blind Auditions. One example is the "Boomerang." This secret tool allows a coach who’s been blocked to send the block back to the original artist, giving them a second chance to make their pitch. It's a game-changer. Keep in mind, all four coaches will still have their two "Blocks" and their "Second Chance" power intact.
TF1 is making history with a groundbreaking move, both in France and internationally. This season, in its anniversary edition, some of the show’s most iconic coaches will make a spectacular return by sharing the coaching chair during certain "Blind Auditions." While Matt Pokora will team up with Amel Bent, Zazie will reunite with her longtime ally Florent Pagny. On his side, Louis Bertignac will partner with Lara Fabian, and finally, Kendji Girac will join forces with Tayc.
An unprecedented phase awaits contestants and coaches after the "Blind Auditions." This year, the Battle rounds are being revamped and will kick off with a crucial preliminary stage called "The Qualifiers." During this phase, coaches will challenge their artists with a musical task in groups of four. To move forward in the competition, each performer must then shine individually in front of their coach and a co-coach.
Another key event this season? The "Performances." During this round, which takes place before the Semi-Finals, each contestant will have the freedom to showcase their musical world with a song of their choice and a unique stage presentation.
As part of their anniversary season, TF1 has unveiled a star-studded teaser featuring some of the show’s most popular artists, including Louane, Kendji Girac, Slimane, Amir, Anne Sila, Claudio Capéo, Bilal Hassani, Mentissa, Jérémy Frérot, Maëlle, Linh, and Il Cello. Together, they perform "Les étoiles", a song by Léman, a former contestant on the show.
