The winners of seasons 5, 6, and 7, O'G3NE, Maan de Steenwinkel, and Pleun Bierbooms respectively, performed "Don't You Worry 'bout a Thing" at the start of the show.

The Battle Rounds
The Battle Rounds determine which artists from each team will advance to the Knockout Rounds. Two (or a group of three artists) from the same will sing in a vocal battle against one other. The Steal Room was continued from Season 7. While steals have returned, each artist that is stolen this season will sit in a designated seat in the Steal Room as they watch the other performances. If a coach has stolen one artist but later decides to steal another, the first artist will be replaced and eliminated by the newly-stolen artist. Contestants who win their battle or are stolen by another coach will advance to the Knockout rounds.
