During battle rounds, coaches divide contestants to pairs and give them a song to perform. Coach then choose a winner to continue to the Knock Out phase.

For the knockouts, coaches group their contestants in pairs, or trios with the artist stolen during the Battle phase. This season, the coaches can steal one losing artist. Each night three coaches bring their artists on stage, and one coach watches all performances and eliminations and gives his/her choice from the losing artists in the end. The top 16 contestants will then move on to the live shows.
