Coaches and hosts
On May 11, 2018, Kelly Clarkson confirmed she would return alongside Jennifer Hudson, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. Carson Daly will return for his fifteenth season as host. It was announced on September 10 that Kelsea Ballerini would become a fifth coach, mentoring unsuccessful auditioners on an online version in a new round called The Comeback Stage.[3]

A new round this season, entitled "The Comeback Stage", will see six artists who did not turn a chair in the Blind Auditions get a second chance to return to the competition for the live shows. The six artists remained, mentored by Kelsea Ballerini, will compete against each other in a digital companion series, with the winner securing a spot in the Top 13.[3]
This season's advisors for the Battle Rounds are CeeLo Green for Team Adam, Thomas Rhett for Team Kelly, Halsey for Team Jennifer, and Keith Urban for Team Blake.[4] Mariah Carey assigned as a mentor for all teams during the knockouts.

The Knockouts
The Knockouts round started on October 29.[7] The coaches can each steal one losing artist from another team and save one artist who lost their Knockout on their own team. The top 24 contestants then moved on to the Live Playoffs. Mariah Carey is the advisor to contestants from all teams in this round.[8] Cody Ray Raymond from Team Kelly dropped out from the competition due to personal reasons.[9] Kelly Clarkson grouped three of her members into one knockout, with two contestants from the trio advancing, with the third being declared the loser, just like on the eighth season.

The fourteenth episode was a special episode titled "The Road to the Live Shows." The episode showed the best moments of the season so far, including the blind auditions, the journey of the top 24 contestants, and some unseen footage. | |||||||||
The Comeback Stage
For this season, the show added a brand new phase of competition called The Comeback Stage that was exclusive to The Voice mobile app, The Voice YouTube channel, Instagram TV, Facebook and NBC.com.[10] After failing to turn a chair in the blind auditions, artists had the chance to be selected by fifth coach Kelsea Ballerini to become a member of her six-person team. The Comeback Stage consists of three rounds. In the first, it is the Battle round. Artists would be paired up and given a solo song to perform for Kelsea's favor (similar to the Knockouts). In the second, it is the Comeback's Knockout round. The three remaining artists would be given another song to sing, with two of them advancing to the final stage. The third and final stage is run in conjunction with the Live Playoffs. The two remaining artists perform live for America's votes in the first Twitter Instant Save of the season, with the winner officially joining one of the four main teams of their choosing as a part of the Top 13.

Week 1: Live Playoffs (November 12 & 13)
The Live Playoffs comprised episodes 15 and 16. The top twenty-four artists perform, with two artists from each team advancing based on the viewers' vote, and each coach completing their respective teams with their own choice. The Monday night broadcast featured all teams and the Tuesday night broadcast featured the results, along with the final Comeback Stage matchup.[citation needed]
Kelsea Ballerini was added as the fifth coach and has coached six artists who did not turn a chair in the Blind Auditions to help them get a second chance to return to the competition for the live shows. They had their own battles and knockouts, and only two, Ayanna Joni and Lynnea Moorer, get the chance to enter the Top 13 via America's vote (similar to the Instant Save).[citation needed]
MaKenzie Thomas reached (#7) on Itunes Bonus and becomes the 5th person to ever reach the Itunes charts on the Live Playoffs, first being James Wolpert from Season 5, second being Sawyer Fredericks from Season 8, and third and fourth being Jordan Smith and Emily Ann Roberts from season 9.
Lynnea Moorer won the Comeback Stage matchup, and chose to be part of Team Kelly on the Top 13.
