The eleventh season of The Voice Portugal is a talent show broadcast on RTP1, which premiered on 17 September 2023. Marisa Liz, Dino d'Santiago, Diogo Piçarra, and Carolina Deslandes all exited the coaching panel and were replaced by returning coach António Zambujo, The Voice Kids coach Fernando Daniel, The Voice Gerações coach Sara Correia, and debutant Sónia Tavares. Catarina Furtado and Catarina Maia returned as main and backstage hostesses, respectively, while Vasco Palmeirim left the program.
José Bacelar from Team Zambujo won the competition on 7 January 2024, marking António Zambujo's third win as a coach. Also, this was the second time in the history of the show that the Top 2 were from the same team, as both Bacelar and runner-up Maria João Soares were from Team Zambujo. The first time this occurred was in season six with Marvi and Diana Castro from Team Marisa. Zambujo also became the fourth coach to win three times, after Marisa Liz, Anselmo Ralph and Fernando Daniel.
As in the previous season, in the blind auditions (provas cegas in Portuguese), each coach is given two "blocks" to use and prevent another coach from pitching for the artist. The "super block" buttons could be used at any time until the artist is asked which team they want to join. At the end of the blind auditions, Zambujo didnâÂÂt use his second super block.
The battles (called batalhas in Portuguese) began on 29 October. For the first time in the history of The Voice globally, the battles' stage was broadcast live. Teams Fernando and Sara performed on the first night of battles, and Teams Sónia and Zambujo performed on the second night.
The knockouts (called tira-teimas in Portuguese) began on 12 November. Like the battles, the knockouts were broadcast live. Four artists from each team performed on the first night, and the other four performed on the second night. The artist, from each team, with the highest number of votes from the public moves on to the live shows, and then each coach saves one of the remaining three artists to move on as well.
Prior to this episode, Daniel Geadas from Team Sónia withdrew from the competition for personal reasons. Because of this, the two eliminated artists on Team Sónia from episode nine â where Geadas was selected to advance â were up to public's vote to fill in for his spot. Sofia Silva received the most number of votes.
