The twelfth season of The Voice Portugal is a talent show broadcast on RTP1, which premiered on 22 September 2024. Fernando Daniel, Sara Correia, and Sónia Tavares all returned as coaches from the previous season. Nininho Vaz Maia, who made his debut as a coach on the fifth season of The Voice Kids, joined the panel this season, replacing António Zambujo. Catarina Furtado returned as the main hostess, while Catarina Maia was replaced by Maria Petronilho as the backstage hostess.
Rafael Ribeiro from Team Fernando won the competition on 5 January 2025, marking Fernando Daniel's first win as a coach on the main version of the show. With Daniel winning three seasons on the kids version of the show, he became the second coach to win four seasons across all variations of the Portuguese version of The Voice, after Marisa Liz. For the first time in the show's history, the first artist in the Blind Auditions went on to win the entire season.
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. In addition to the blocks, each coach received a "super pass" to give to one artist. The super pass, which was introduced in the fifth season of The Voice Kids, defaults the recipient to that coach's team, blocking all other coaches that turned. Furthermore, each recipient bypasses the battles, going straight to the knockouts.
At the beginning of the episode, former coach Diogo Piçarra surprised the coaches singing "Arcade", receiving a four-chair-turn.
At the beginning of the episode, The Voice Kids season 5 coach Cuca Roseta surprised the coaches singing "Dis, Quand Reviendras-tu", receiving a four-chair-turn.
The battles (called batalhas in Portuguese) began on 17 November. In this round, each coach divides their artists into duos, trios, or quartets to perform a song. The coach then can pick one winner, multiple winners, or no winners from the battle. The four "super pass" artists from the blind auditions are exempt from this round. At the end of the round, each coach takes eight artists into the knockouts.
The knockouts (called tira-teimas in Portuguese) began on 1 December. Four artists from each team performed on the first night, and the other four performed on the second night. A coach can steal an artist, but can steal another artist, knocking the originally stolen artist out of the competition. At the end of the round, each coach takes a total of four artists to the live shows; three of their own artists and one stolen artist.
The Live shows began airing on 15 December. In episodes 13 and 14, one artist per team was eliminated by the public vote.
The semi-final aired on 29 December. The Top 8 performed a solo performance and a trio performance with their coach and the other artist on their team. The artist with the most votes on each team automatically advanced to the final. At the end of the show, the four artists in the bottom (the artist the received the fewest votes on each team) could be saved by the public as a "wild card."
With the advancements of Ricardo Maia and Rita Nunes, Nininho Vaz Maia became the second coach in the history of the show, after António Zambujo in the seventh season, to bring two artists to the final on their first season.
The final aired on 5 January 2025. At the start of the round, the finalists performed "A Nossa Vez" to kick off the final. After the group performance, each of the five finalists performed a solo song and a duet with a special guest. From there, the three artists with the most votes moved on to the second stage where they sang their blind audition song once more for final votes. The winner was announced following this stage.
At the end of the second stage, Rafael Ribeiro from Team Fernando won the competition, marking Fernando Daniel's first win as a coach on the main version of the show.
