Fans of The Voice will have to wait a while longer to catch another episode of the competition series.
On Monday, Dec. 1, the show aired its first Playoff episode of season 28. During the hour-long program, the remaining four artists from Teams Michael Bublรฉ and Reba McEntire performed.

At the end, the coaches could only select one singer to move onto the Lives with them. Bublรฉ picked Jazz McKenzie, while McEntire opted for Aubrey Nicole.
The remaining six contestantsโAaron Nichols, Max Chambers, Peyton Kyle, Rob Cole, Ryan Mitchell, and Trinityโaren’t out of the competition yet. America got the chance to vote in order to send one of the singers through to the finale.
What to Expect from the Rest of The Voice Season 28
Though The Voice has aired some Tuesday episodes this season, that is not the case this week. Rather, contestants on Teams Niall Horan and Snoop Dogg won’t show off their Playoff performance until next Monday, Dec. 8.
That episode will follow the same format as the Dec. 1 installment. The coaches will each select one singer from their team to advance to the finale, while the remaining contestants will have to rely on America’s votes to make it through.
The Dec. 8 episode will also include the announcement of the Mic Drop Button winner. Earlier this season, each coach nominated one member of their team that gave a standout performance for the chance to perform at the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day.
Team Bublรฉ’s Max Chambers, Team Reba’s Aaron Nichols, Team Niall’s DEK of Hearts, and Team Snoop’s Yoshihanaa were the lucky recipients. America got to vote between those four contestants, and the person with the most votes will be revealed on Dec. 8.
Following the Dec. 8 episode, it will be time for the two-part finale. Airing on Dec. 15 and Dec. 16, the finale will officially crown the season 28 winner.
The show will also include performances from Khalid and XG. Khalid has yet to share what heโll sing on the show, but XGโwhich is comprised of JURIN, CHISA, HINATA, HARVEY, JURIA, MAYA and COCONAโhas confirmed that they’ll perform their song โGALAโ during the episode. The performance will mark the girl groupโs TV debut in the U.S. Additionally, itโll take place just weeks ahead of the release of their debut LP,ย THE CORE โย ๆ ธ.
