PRO TV’s autumn 2026 lineup has already begun, but the schedule no longer looks exactly as it did in the official announcement of 3 September. “Vocea României” began on Friday, 4 September, and “MasterChef Romania” on Monday, 7 September. The new reality show “Burlacii: Foc în Paradis” premiered on Monday, 14 September, at 23:00. The practical change for viewers comes after the first week: from Monday, 21 September, “Burlacii” is no longer broadcast on PRO TV but on Home, while episodes appear on VOYO a day earlier.
This is the difference that matters to viewers: in the autumn lineup, VOYO does not serve merely as a simultaneous viewing platform for PRO TV productions. For “Burlacii: Foc în Paradis”, the platform becomes the early-access channel, while linear television moves the show’s ongoing run to another channel in the group.
Confirmed schedule: where and when to watch the shows
| Show | Confirmed premiere | Announced / updated schedule | Where to watch | What differs on VOYO |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vocea României, season 14 | Friday, 4 September 2026, 20:30 | Friday, 20:30 | PRO TV and VOYO | Available on both platforms; the lineup announcement indicates a simultaneous launch. |
| MasterChef Romania, season 11 | Monday, 7 September 2026, 20:30 | In the first week: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. From the following week: Tuesday and Wednesday, 20:30. | PRO TV and VOYO | Available on both platforms; no early episode access for VOYO has been announced. |
| Burlacii: Foc în Paradis | Monday, 14 September 2026, 23:00 | Initially: Monday to Thursday on PRO TV. From Monday, 21 September: Monday to Thursday, 23:00, on Home. | Home and VOYO, following the change | Four new episodes a week, available on VOYO one day early. |
“Vocea României” opens Friday with a new rule
PRO TV confirmed that season 14 of “Vocea României” would start on 4 September 2026 at 20:30, both on television and on VOYO. The format remains the channel’s Friday-night anchor.
The new feature is the “Second Chance Button”, added alongside the already familiar Mute and Block mechanisms. This season’s coaches are Tudor Chirilă, Smiley, Irina Rimes, Theo Rose and Horia Brenciu, while the show is hosted by Pavel Bartoș.
For viewers, the useful information is straightforward: for those watching the show at its broadcast time, choosing between PRO TV and VOYO does not change the premiere day. In official communications, the two services are presented as viewing outlets for the same launch, rather than separate release windows.
“MasterChef Romania” settles into its schedule after launch week
“MasterChef Romania” began on 7 September 2026, also at 20:30, with an extended launch week: episodes on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The production subsequently moved into its Tuesday-and-Wednesday rhythm. The schedule was explained just before the premiere by chef Florin Dumitrescu in information published by PRO TV.
Season 11 brings Sorin Bontea, Florin Dumitrescu and Cătălin Scărlătescu back to the judging panel, with Gina Pistol as host. The launch feature announced by the broadcaster was a challenge involving 120 contestants cooking simultaneously in the first episode. This is a production promise confirmed by the TV channel, rather than a criterion by which the entire season can yet be assessed.
Distribution is shared here as well: PRO TV and VOYO. Unlike “Burlacii”, the announcements consulted contain no official promise that VOYO subscribers will receive new “MasterChef” episodes in advance. For those wishing to follow the show in its television rhythm, the reference point is Tuesday and Wednesday from 20:30.
“Burlacii” most clearly shows VOYO’s new role
“Burlacii: Foc în Paradis”, hosted by Adelina Pestrițu, is the production that most changes the relationship between television and streaming. In its 3 September lineup announcement, PRO TV said it would air on four evenings, Monday through Thursday, on PRO TV and VOYO, with the first episode scheduled for 14 September at 23:00.
At launch, the platform offered a one-off advantage: on the evening of 14 September, when the first episode aired on PRO TV, the first three episodes were available early on VOYO. This was the first clear separation between the streaming and TV experiences.
In the same context, see also Netflix in September 2026: 7 confirmed premieres, from thrillers to black comedy, which presents further relevant information.
However, the update published on Friday, 18 September, changes the show’s television path even further. From the week beginning Monday, 21 September, the reality show is scheduled Monday through Thursday at 23:00 on Home. VOYO retains early access: new episodes are announced one day before their TV broadcast.
In other words, those watching exclusively on PRO TV should note that “Burlacii” does not remain in that channel’s lineup after its first episodes. Those following the show episode by episode have two different options: Home, at the scheduled TV time, or VOYO, for the episode made available earlier. For a dating production with four episodes a week, the one-day advantage may matter more than it does for a weekly talent show.
What this split says about PRO TV’s strategy
The lineup keeps major prime-time formats on PRO TV: the Friday talent show and the weekday cooking competition. At the same time, VOYO is used in two ways. First, as online access for productions also broadcast on the channel. Then, in the case of “Burlacii”, as an early-release window tied to a TV broadcast moved to Home.
Not every show is treated in the same way. “Vocea României” and “MasterChef” debuted simultaneously on PRO TV and VOYO, while “Burlacii: Foc în Paradis” follows a different path after launch: TV distribution on Home and new content available early on the digital platform. This is the nuance missing from a generic presentation of an autumn lineup.
The strategy does not mean traditional television is disappearing. It remains the gathering point for major premieres and for viewers accustomed to a fixed broadcast time. VOYO, by contrast, is the tool through which the group can offer flexibility and create a concrete reason to watch online: earlier access to the next episode.
What to remember before planning your viewing
- Friday, 20:30: “Vocea României”, on PRO TV and VOYO.
- Tuesday and Wednesday, 20:30: “MasterChef Romania”, on PRO TV and VOYO, after the special launch week.
- From Monday, 21 September, Monday to Thursday, 23:00: “Burlacii: Foc în Paradis”, on Home.
- For “Burlacii”: VOYO has the confirmed advantage of episodes being available one day early.
For a comparison with how the competition built its previous seasons, see also Antena 1’s autumn 2025 schedule. In PRO TV’s case, however, the difference is more visible at the distribution level: the same autumn season is split between a main channel, a secondary channel and a platform that can release some episodes early.
