The Voice: Battle of Champions is poised to be one of the most legendary seasons yet.
Us Weekly can exclusively reveal that season 29 of NBC’s singing competition series will feature commentary from social media star and comedian Druski, in addition to multiple NBA legends including former Los Angeles Lakers star Derek Fisher.
“We’re your new coaches,” Druski, 31, shares in the must-see announcement. “Whoa, whoa. We’re actually not your new coaches. We’re just doing color commentary. My bad, bro. I get mixed up with the words. That’s my fault.”
All jokes aside, Druski will be joined by a string of NBA All Stars throughout the season, to align with Legendary February at NBC.
In the past month alone, NBC has aired Super Bowl LX, the NBA All-Star Game and the 2026 Winter Olympics. Meanwhile, NBA on NBC brings prime time NBA games to NBC and Peacock every Sunday night from February 1 through April 5.
“This ultra competitive season needs some expert analysts,” Druski shares in the clip. “And with me? NBA legend, the one and only Derek Fisher. We’re breaking down the competition from a whole new angle. We’ll be here throughout the blinds tracking every triple turn. This is going to be fun.”
Starting Monday night, coaches John Legend, Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine will turn their red chairs if they like what they hear during the legendary Blind Auditions.
If multiple coaches turn, the singing contestant gets to pick which team they want to be on.
As an added twist to season 29, Battle of Champions will feature an all-new Triple Turn Competition and Super Steal.
“This season, triple turns matter,” Fisher, 51, says when describing the moment when all three coaches turn their red chairs and fight for a contestant. “The coach who wins the most gets a big advantage in the battles.”
Fisher knows a thing or two about being competitive. As Druski pointed out, the NBA player is the proud owner of five NBA championship rings thanks to his career primarily as a Los Angeles Laker.
He now serves as an advisor of The Play Equity Fund, an organization committed to providing the transformational power of sport and play to all children, in addition to his roles as an analyst on NBA on NBC.
Last December, millions of viewers cast their vote for the winner of The Voice season 28.
College student Aiden Ross, a member of Team Niall Horan, earned the top prize after an electrifying vocal performance of JVKE’s “Golden Hour,” followed by a heartfelt rendition of “The Winner Takes It All” by ABBA in the finale.
“Since the minute [my] chair turned around [in Aiden’s blind audition], I just felt like I was looking at myself up there,” Horan, 32, exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2025. “Like, there’s so many comparisons to be made. … That youthful energy that he’s got, you know, the excitement to want to make records and write songs and stuff like that, is something that I see a lot of myself in. But I’m definitely not as talented as that dude.”
