Let the battles begin. NBC's hit singing competition "The Voice" will start whittling down the many talented competitors in season 26. Watch them face off in a new episode on Monday, Oct. 21, at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.

Watch the new episode for free with Fubo or DIRECTV Stream. Episodes can also be streamed the next day on Peacock.

Aspiring singers audition to compete on teams led by four of today's biggest musical icons: Reba McEntire, Michael Bublé, Snoop Dogg and Gwen Stefani. After picking their team based on vocals alone, these mentors will help contestants hone their craft while playfully competing with each other.

In tonight's episode, the Battles begin. Coaches prepare their artists in hopes of advancing to the knockouts, and each of them has two steals in this high-stakes round. The four celebrity artists have teams of 14 singers each. Tonight's two-hour episode will pit two members from the same team against each other in a singing Battle over the same song. Coaches then have to decide who will advance to the next round.
