| Season chronology | |
The fifteenth season of the talent show The Voice of Germany premiered on 25 September 2025. The show is broadcast by two local TV stations, ProSieben and Sat.1, during the Blind Auditions and the Battles.
Shirin David, Rea Garvey, Nico Santos, and duo Michi & Smudo returned as coaches after one, two, three, and six-season hiatuses, respectively.[1] Calum Scott is the new "Comeback Stage" coach, selecting contestants to participate in The Voice: Comeback Stage by SEAT.[2] Thore Schölermann returned for his fourteenth season as host, with Melissa Khalaj returning for her fourth season as host.[3]
Anne Mosters won the season with the closest margin of victory in the show's history (1,58%), marking Nico Santos' first win as a coach. Mosters became the first "All Star" contestant in the history of the show to win a season (she previously competed in the thirteenth season and was eliminated in teamfights). Additionally, Mosters became the second artist to win a season that had a coach blocked in their blind audition (Michi & Smudo blocking Shirin), following Malou Lovis Kreyelkamp in the thirteenth season.[4][5]

In April 2025, ProSieben and Sat.1 announced that all four coaches from the previous season; Mark Forster, Yvonne Catterfeld, Kamrad, and Samu Haber; would depart the panel for the upcoming fifteenth season. This marks the third season to have all coaches from the previous panel replaced, following season 13 and 14. On 20 April 2025, it was announced that previous coaches Rea Garvey, duo Michi & Smudo, Nico Santos, and Shirin David will return as coaches for their eighth, sixth, third, and second seasons, respectively.[6] This marks the first time since the second season that there has not been a new coach.
On 19 August 2025, it was announced that Calum Scott would be featured as a coach for the "Comeback Stage", which was last present in season 11.[7]
Hosts
Both Thore Schölermann and Melissa Khalaj returned as hosts from last season.

Blind Auditions
The Blind Auditions began broadcasting on 25 September 2025, and is broadcast every Thursday on ProSieben and every Friday on Sat.1. This season, the blocks returned, but with a twist. Unlike the previous seasons, each coach now only has two blocks that they can use to block another coach. However, they can choose to use the block at any time, even during their pitch. Only one block is allowed per audition; once a coach already used their block, the other coaches are not allowed to use their block. In addition, this season introduced the Joker. Each coach has a coin and is only allowed to use it once to try to further convince the artist to join their team. Each coach has seventeen spots to fill on their team, and, unlike last season, each coach filled their team. This is the second season in The Voice of Germany history where at least one coach (Shirin David in this case) does not have a one-chair turn on their team.

- ^1 Nico unintentionally hit the Rea block button when leaning on his podium, nonetheless, the block remained.
- ^2 Michi & Smudo originally blocked Shirin, but after the performance they took it back and the block was removed making Shirin eligible to be picked
- ^3 During the episode, comeback stage coach Calum Scott surprised the coaches by performing his own song, "You Are the Reason", which earned him a four-chair turn.
Battles
The Battles began broadcasting on 23 October 2025, being broadcast on Thursday on ProSieben (first week only) and every Friday on Sat.1. Artists are divided into pairs (with each team having one trio due to having seventeen artists) to perform a song together. Each coach could select any number of candidates of each battle into the next phase, with each battle having one, multiple, or no winner. Each coach has nine artists on their team after the battles.
This season, a guest coach is present in each episode of the round: Joy Denalane for the first, Tim Bendzko for the second, Cro for the third, and Álvaro Soler for the fourth. In each respective episode, the guest coach awards one battle the "Battle of the Night" in terms of performance quality. The coach that has those artists on his/her team therefore gains an advantage in teamfights: the coach can block a challenging coach. The battle recipients of the awards were Joelisa Serwah André & Igor Santos Barbosa from Team Shirin, Oxa & Vasco José Mano from Team Shirin, Greta Heimann & Marvin Tapper from Team Nico, and Bernarda Brunović & Clifford Dwenger from Team Michi & Smudo.

- ^4 Since Rea Garvey had already advanced eight talents to the Teamfights throughout battles 1–3, he only had one spot, but two battles left, therefore after his last battle, Andrea Galleti and Julia Wolf were called back on stage and Garvey picked one out of the five (Galleti, Wolf, Ryan Bridge Madrid, Viviana Milioti and John Cadeliña) to advance to the Teamfights.
Teamfights
The teamfights were recorded on 6 and 7 July 2025. It began broadcasting only by Sat.1 on Friday nights starting 14 November 2025. In this stage of the competition, 12 artists appeared in each of three rounds. First, one artist per team sang and took a seat on one of four chairs called "hotseat". Once these seats were occupied, the next artist challenged one of the seated artists, and after the artists' performance, the studio audience decided who was allowed to take the seat. This process was repeated until all 12 had performed. The coach whose artists received the "Battle of the Night" awards in each episode of the battles gained the advantage of being able to block a challenger in this round; Shirin has two blocks to use, while Nico and Michi & Smudo have one each to use. At the end of each episode, the 4 artists seated at the end of each episode, from any team, advanced to the semi-final. A coach had the possibility to lose all of their artists, or bring all of their artists to the semi-finals. However, every coach was represented in the semi-finals and every coach did not bring their entire team to the semi-finals after this round.

Comeback Stage
This season's fifth coach, Calum Scott, selected artists who did not make a team during the blind auditions, as well as eliminated artists from later rounds of the competition, thus creating new rounds to The Voice: Comeback Stage by SEAT.

Semi-final
The semi-final aired on 5 December. Seven artists out of the fourteen in the round progressed to the final, regardless of team. All decisions are made by television viewers via televoting. Due to the teamfights round prior to the semi-finals, this season is the third to feature an uneven amount of artists from each team entering the semi-finals: Team Nico and Team Michi & Smudo have four artists each, Team Shirin has three artists, and Team Rea has one artist. Team Calum joined the main competition this round, bringing two artists from the Comeback Stage to the semi-final.
Due to votes being solely for the artist, it was not guaranteed that each coach would be represented in the finale. However, all four main coaches (Garvey, Michi & Smudo, David, and Santos) successfully brought their team to the finale. Nico Santos, with the advancements of Anne Mosters, Greta Heimann, and Marvin Tapper, became the first coach in the history of the show to have three finalists represent them in the final. Shirin David, with the advancements of Vasco José Mano and Oxa, became the fifth coach; after Samu Haber, Andreas Bourani, Ronan Keating, and Mark Forster; to bring two artists to the final. David has the distinction of being the first female coach in the history of the show to accomplish this.
With the eliminations of Joelisa Serwah André and Vincent Rinne, Calum Scott no longer has any artists on his team, marking the first time a Comeback Stage coach is not represented in the finale. However, this season was the first in which a Comeback Stage coach was not guaranteed an artist in the finale.
