The thirteenth season of the Dutch reality singing competition The Voice of Holland premiered on 16 January 2026 on RTL 4. This marks the first season since the show's suspension four years prior due to power abuse and misconduct by crew members of the show.
Chantal Janzen returned as host for her fourth consecutive season alongside debutant (replacing the terminally ill Martijn Krabbé, who still serves as voice-over host). Ilse DeLange returned for her third season as coach after an eight-season hiatus and was joined by debutants Willie Wartaal, Suzan & Freek, and Dinand Woesthoff, marking the first time in the history of the show with an entirely different panel than the previous season.
On 8 May 2026, Ruben Hillen was announced as the winner of the season, marking Suzan & Freek's first win as a coach. Hillen became the first one-chair turn artist to win in the show's history (as well as the first to win and not receive a four-chair turn). Additionally, Suzan & Freek became the fourth coach in the show's history to win their debut season following Marco Borsato, Trijntje Oosterhuis, and Waylon. They also became the first duo coach on the main version of the show to win a season. Coaches
On 31 March 2025, it was announced that former coach Ilse DeLange, who last coached in the fifth season, would return for her third season as a coach. Willie Wartaal, Suzan & Freek, and Dinand Woesthoff all were announced to debut as coaches this season. Therefore, this season marks the first in the history of the show in which the entire panel from the previous season; Ali B, Anouk, Glennis Grace, and Waylon did not return. This is also the first time a duo coach is present on the panel since the third season.
On 27 May 2025, Suzan & Freek withdrew from the panel following Freek's diagnosis with lung cancer; however, they rejoined the panel on 4 July 2025 with an announcement that Freek's health was on a more positive trajectory.

Blind Auditions
The blind auditions premiered on 16 January 2026. In this round, an artist performs a song on the stage while the four coaches are turned away from him/her. If the coach wants to work with the artist, they press their "I WANT YOU" button which turns their chair to face the artist. If more than one coach turns for the artist, it is up to the artist to choose his/her coach, effectively joining that team.
The block button, introduced in the previous season, was removed this season.
