## The Knockouts

The first episode of the knockouts aired on 6 May 2018. Each knockout round pits 3 artists from the same team against each other, with only one act winning each round.

### Weeks 1 & 2: Live Cross Battles (April 15, 16, 22, and 23)

The new Live Cross Battles round begin with 32 artists remaining in the competition. Over the course of two weeks, eight pairs of artists perform each Monday. Coaches select an artist from their team, then challenge a fellow coach to compete against, and this coach selects an artist as well. On the Tuesday results shows, the winner of each Cross Battle is revealed, for a total of sixteen artists advancing to the next round based on America's votes. Additionally, the coaches have one save and one steal to use over the course of the Cross Battles. Coaches are only given ten seconds to press their button. 24 artists in total advance to the next round of competition.

* **Note:** In the table, the Cross Battles are ordered by the order of the results announcement and not by the performances order.

## The Playoffs

The Playoffs were taped on August 31 and September 1, and comprised episodes 15, 16, and 17. As in season 6, the Playoffs were prerecorded, featuring no interactive viewer voting component, and therefore no subsequent results shows. As in seasons 9, 10, and 12, four previously eliminated artists were chosen by the coaches to come back for the Playoffs. This time, they were Natalie Stovall (picked by Blake Shelton), Lucas Holliday (chosen by Jennifer Hudson), Karli Webster (picked by Miley Cyrus), and Whitney Fenimore (selected by Adam Levine).Plantilla:Citation needed
