The Voice Season 28 episode 12 continues the high-stakes competition with, “The Knockouts Part 3,” airing Monday, Nov. 10 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on NBC and streaming next day on Peacock. The Knockouts intensify as coaches Michael Bublé, Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan, and Reba McEntire pair two artists to compete head-to-head with solo performances. Only one will move forward to the Playoffs, making this one of the season’s most pivotal episodes.
Two iconic Mega Mentors join the episode, advising artists and elevating performances to their highest level yet. With the competition tightening and team slots shrinking, the Knockouts push vocalists to show identity, range, and artistry in a way that shapes their future in the show.
A Fierce Battle Between Four Powerhouse Coaches
Season 28 features one of the strongest coaching panels in The Voice history:
Reba McEntire – country legend and returning fan favorite
Snoop Dogg – entertainment mogul with unmatched musical instincts
Michael Bublé – undefeated coach with a record of producing winners
Niall Horan – undefeated coach known for expert vocal guidance
The chemistry, competition, and playful rivalry between the four coaches heighten every choice they make, especially in the Knockouts where one wrong call could cost them the season.
Inside the Format: How The Knockouts Work
In this stage, artists pick their own songs — a chance to show their true style — while competing against a teammate performing solo. Coaches evaluate vocal confidence, emotion, technique, and star power when choosing the winner. Unlike the Battle Rounds, there are no Steals in this stage, making each matchup even more intense.
Each coach also holds a “Mic Drop” button, awarding one standout performer per team a chance to compete for a fan-voted reward: a live performance at The Rose Parade Presented by Honda on January 1, 2026.
Artists who survive The Knockouts advance to the Playoffs, where coaches must make their toughest decisions yet: only one artist from each team automatically advances to the Live Shows, while America votes two wildcard artists into the finale.
When And Where To Watch
The Voice Season 28 airs Mondays on the NBC Television Network, with episodes available to stream the next day on Peacock. Fans can rewatch standout Knockout performances and follow behind-the-scenes clips, coach banter, and contestant journeys on both platforms.
With only a few Knockouts left before the live rounds begin, tensions are higher than ever — and the performances more emotional than ever. Viewers can expect big risks, emotional goodbyes, and incredible steals as The Voice moves one step closer to crowning its next superstar.
Looking Ahead on The Voice Season 28
With the Live Shows looming, The Knockouts Part 3 is a crucial turning point for artists hoping to secure a spot on the national stage. Powerful vocal moments, emotional breakthroughs, and surprise coaching decisions make Episode 12 one of the most anticipated nights of the season.
