‘The Voice’ vs. ‘American Idol’: Which Will You Watch When They Go Head-to-Head? (Poll)

The Voice and American Idol have a lot of overlapping fans, which may be an issue when the former returns on Monday, February 23. In 2026, American Idol moved from Sundays to Mondays, which means both singing competitions are about to air on the same night. While American Idol is on from 8/7c to 10/9c on ABC, The Voice will be airing on NBC from 9/8c to 11/10c on Mondays moving forward, so there will be a one-hour overlap in the schedules. That means fans of both shows will have to decide which one they want to tune into live and which show they’ll have to catch up on at a later date.
