The Voice of Holland season 13

The Voice of Holland season 13

The thirteenth season of the Dutch reality singing competition The Voice of Holland premiered on 16 January 2026 on RTL 4. This marks the first season since the show's suspension four years prior due to power abuse and misconduct by crew members of the show.

Chantal Janzen returned as host for her fourth consecutive season alongside debutant Edson da Graça (replacing the terminally ill Martijn Krabbé, who still serves as voice-over host). Ilse DeLange returned for her third season as coach after an eight-season hiatus and was joined by debutants Willie Wartaal, Suzan & Freek, and Dinand Woesthoff, marking the first time in the history of the show with an entirely different panel than the previous season.

Coaches

The Voice of Holland season 13

On 31 March 2025, it was announced that former coach Ilse DeLange, who last coached in the fifth season, would return for her third season as a coach. Willie Wartaal, Suzan & Freek, and Dinand Woesthoff all were announced to debut as coaches this season. Therefore, this season marks the first in the history of the show in which the entire panel from the previous season; Ali B, Anouk, Glennis Grace, and Waylon did not return. This is also the first time a duo coach is present on the panel since the third season.

On 27 May 2025, Suzan & Freek withdrew from the panel following Freek's diagnosis with lung cancer; however, they rejoined the panel on 4 July 2025 with an announcement that Freek's health was on a more positive trajectory.

Blind Auditions

The Voice of Holland season 13

The blind auditions premiered on 16 January 2026. In this round, an artist performs a song on the stage while the four coaches are turned away from him/her. If the coach wants to work with the artist, they press their "I WANT YOU" button which turns their chair to face the artist. If more than one coach turns for the artist, it is up to the artist to choose his/her coach, effectively joining that team.

The block button, introduced in the previous season, was removed this season.

Battles

The Voice of Holland season 13

The battles premiered on 13 March 2026. In this round, the coaches pair six duos (one trio for Suzan & Freek) to sing together on their respective teams. Following the performance, the artists' coach picks one winner of the two artists to advance to the knockouts. Each coach has one "steal" in the round which is used on a losing artist in the pairing, effectively bringing that artist to their team. If multiple coaches steal the artist, the artist picks their new team to continue on to the knockouts.

	Artist won the Battle and advanced to the Knockout Rounds
	Artist lost the Battle but was stolen by another coach and advanced to the Knockout Rounds
	Artist lost the Battle and was eliminated
