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.

Blind auditions 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.

Battles 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.
