The three-way Knockouts will see artists paired against two other teammates. For the first time, they will select the song they will perform while their direct competitors watch and wait individually. Alongside the Coaches, Sting and Hudson will help guide the artists into their strongest performances yet.
The Coaches alone will choose the winner from their team to advance to the Playoffs, the last round before the Live Shows. Each coach has one save and one steal in this round.
The Voice is a presentation of MGM Television, Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon, and ITV Studios The Voice USA, Inc. The series was created by John de Mol, who serves as an executive producer along with Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson, Adam H. Sher and Barry Poznick.
