The Voice van Vlaanderen is a Belgianrealitytalent show, for theFlemish part ofBelgium, created byJohn de Mol, based on the conceptThe Voice of Holland and itsinternational series. It began airing on 25 November 2011 onVTM.

The show consists of five stages: producers' auditions, blind auditions, battle rounds, sing-offs, and live shows. To date, there have been fourteen winners:Glenn Claes,Paulien Mathues,Tom De Man, Lola Obasuyi,Luka Cruysberghs, Ibe Wuyts, Grace Khuabi, Louise Goedefroy, and the latest, Christophe Verholle.

Since its inaugural season, the show has been presented byAn Lemmens. She was joined bySean Dhondt until 2014, after which he was replaced bySam De Bruyn, who co-hosted only during the 2016 season. Dhondt returned in 2017 and remained until 2021, before being succeeded byAaron Blommaert in 2022. Gloria Monserez was also featured as a presenter in 2022, but she was only present during the knockouts and battles, both were later replaced byAster Nzeyimana. The coaches for the latest 9th season wereKoen Wauters,Natalia Druyts,Jan Paternoster,Mathieu Terryn andLaura Tesoro for the Comeback Stage. Other coaches from previous seasons includeAlex Callier,Jasper Steverlinck,Regi Penxten,Axelle Red,Bent Van Looy,Bart Peeters,Tourist LeMC andNiels Destadsbader. In the seventh season and onwards, Tesoro features as an off-screen fifth coach for the so-calledComeback Stage contestants.

The success ofThe Voice van Vlaanderen has led to the establishments of spin-off shows based on its concept,The Voice Kids andThe Voice Senior.

The series consists of three phases: a blind audition, a battle phase, and live performance shows. Four judges/coaches, all noteworthy recording artists, choose teams of contestants through a blind audition process. Each judge has the length of the auditioner's performance (about one minute) to decide if he or she wants that singer on his or her team; if two or more judges want the same singer (as happens frequently), the singer has the final choice of coach.

Each team of singers is mentored and developed by its respective coach. In the second stage, called the battle phase, coaches have two of their team members battle against each other directly by singing the same song together, with the coach choosing which team member to advance from each of four individual "battles" into the first live round. Within that first live round, the surviving four acts from each team again compete head-to-head, with public votes determining one of two acts from each team that will advance to the final eight, while the coach chooses which of the remaining three acts comprises the other performer remaining on the team.

In the final phase, the remaining contestants (Final 24) compete against each other in live broadcasts. The television audience and the coaches have equal say 50/50 in deciding who moves on to the final 4 phase. With one team member remaining for each coach, the (final 4) contestants compete against each other in the finale with the outcome decided solely by public vote.

In early 2011, it was announced thatVTM had acquired the rights to produce the Flemish version of The Voice.
