The Young and the Restless spoilers for Tuesday, January 20, 2026, have Victor preparing for battle against Matt Clark, Chelsea proving herself to Nikki, and Victoria holding Billy accountable for his actions.
What’s next on The Young and the Restless
Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) has vowed to end things with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). The man has a history of attacking the Newman family. He tried to frame Nick (Joshua Morrow) for his death. Not only that, but Matt cheated death and got away from the authorities. This time around, he’s caused Noah’s (Lucas Adams) car to run off the road. And then, he did the same to Nick!
On Tuesday’s show, watch for Victor to prepare for battle with Matt. Will it be the last showdown, or will Matt escape to terrorize another day? Tune in to find out!
Chelsea’s connection
Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) is in a tough spot. She wants to support Adam (Mark Grossman), but he often errs by doing his father’s bidding, which hurts people. Chelsea and Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) are united in that they both want peace between Victor and the Abbott clan.
On Tuesday’s episode, watch for Chelsea to prove herself to Nikki. How will she do that? Perhaps, Chelsea will keep secret that Nikki and Michael (Christian LeBlanc) are conspiring from the inside to get Victor to stop attacking Jack?
Confronting Billy
Victoria spent part of the holidays with Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally (Courtney Hope), bonding with Sally in the process. It’s quite possible that Vicki won’t be happy that Billy is jeopardizing his future with Sally by entertaining a deal with Cane, where he would give Billy control of Chancellor Industries.
If anyone knows how Billy can be self-destructive, it’s Vicki. She dealt with his problems for many years. On Tuesday’s show, watch for Vicki to hold Billy accountable for his actions. Vicki may not want to see Billy and Sally split the way that she and Billy did. Victoria likely views Sally as a good influence on her ex-husband. She wants what’s best for him, and being tempted by Cane may not be good for Billy.
