The Battle Rounds
The Battle Rounds determine which artists from each team will advance to the Knockout Rounds. Two (or a group of three artists) from the same will sing in a vocal battle against one other. The Steal Room was continued from Season 7. While steals have returned, each artist that is stolen this season will sit in a designated seat in the Steal Room as they watch the other performances. If a coach has stolen one artist but later decides to steal another, the first artist will be replaced and eliminated by the newly-stolen artist. Contestants who win their battle or are stolen by another coach will advance to the Knockout rounds.

Week 3: Semi-Final - Top 6 (February 9)
Just like previous seasons, this week, after all six artists have performed their first songs, one was eliminated based on the ongoing public vote. A second artist was then eliminated after the top 5's second performances regardless of their teams, leaving four artists advanced to the finale. With the elimination of Kimberly, Waylon had no more act left on his team to compete. With Jim and Nienke still on the competition, Anouk is the first female coach to advance two of her artists into the final. Also, Samantha Steenwijk was the first stolen artist to have ever made it to the finals in the show's history.
