Here's everything you need to know about the Knockout rounds this season:
How do the Knockouts work on The Voice Season 27?
In the Knockouts, the Coaches pair up their Artists, who each get to choose their own songs to perform. After they perform back-to-back, their Coach chooses a winner to stay on the team, and the other Artist goes home unless they are stolen by another Coach.

How many Knockouts are there on The Voice Season 27?
Each Coach has one Steal in this portion of the competition and no Saves. With eight Artists on each team, that's four Knockouts on each of the four teams, for a total of 16 pairs facing off. Each Coach keeps their four winners, plus whoever they've stolen, and goes into the Playoffs with five Artists each.
The 16 rounds of Knockouts are spread out over three episodes, which will air on March 31, April 7 and April 14. Catch them as they air at 8/7c on NBC, or catch up the next day when the episodes stream on Peacock.
What happens after the Knockouts?
After the Knockouts are two weeks of Playoffs, which begin April 28, followed by the Live Shows, culminating in a new winner of The Voice being crowned on May 20.

“As cliche as it sounds, I’m just a dreamer, and I always will be a dreamer,” Vasquez told Vogue Philippines. “I’ve always been proud of my roots. Growing up in the Philippines, it felt right to represent where I’m from on an international stage.”
