The season premiered with a special preview episode on March 2, following the 2025 Oscars, giving viewers a glimpse into the new judging dynamic and some of the early auditions. The official premiere took place on March 9, with host Ryan Seacrest guiding contestants through their journey to stardom.
One of the standout auditions featured Thunderstorm Artis, a fan favourite from The Voice Season 18, who impressed judges with his original song "Don't Let Me Let You Go". Artis's performance showcased his powerful voice and emotional storytelling, setting the bar high for other contestants.
