The Knockouts were filmed on February 28 and 29, 2020. The remaining artists were grouped into three by their respective coaches with one artist advancing to the Live Shows (which eventually was abolished in favor for the prerecorded Finale due to pandemic-induced restrictions) per group. Each artist got to pick their song. At the end of this round, three artists remained on each group with twelve artists overall advancing to the next round. Lea Salonga was absent during the taping of her team's Knockout performances due to her tonsillitis. Salonga watched the recorded performances of her team on a later date to pick the winner for each Knockout grouping. Tyson Venegas of Team Apl left the competition prior to the Knockouts due to undisclosed reasons. As a result, there were only two Knockout groups on Team Apl with one group composing of five artists with two artists being selected to advance to the next round. With the advancement of Kate Campo, she became the first stolen artist to advance to the Finals in the entire Philippine franchise of The Voice. Furthermore, the advancement of Heart Salvador, Kate Campo and Rock Opong made Kamp Kawayan the first team to have 3 comeback artists to advance to the Finals in the entire Philippine franchise of The Voice. ==Finale==

The live shows were originally slated to start in May 2020. The winners of each team were determined by the four coaches themselves since the finale was prerecorded, featuring no interactive viewer voting component, and therefore, no results shows. Each team performed as a group with their coach. Afterwards, each coach was given 100 points to divide among the three artists. Half of the artist's score was composed of the score given by their coach while the other half was composed of the scores given by the other coaches. The artists with the highest score in their respective teams were named the winners. With her victory as one of the grand champions of the season, Heart Salvador of Kamp Kawayan, who was a semifinalist on the same team in the third season of The Voice Kids became the first comeback artist to become a grand champion in the entire Philippine franchise of The Voice. Coincidentally, Rock Opong became the third consecutive comeback artist to place third after Justin Alva and Cyd Pangca in the third and fourth seasons of The Voice Kids respectively. Furthermore, Cydel Gabutero's victory as one of the grand champions of the season marked the third victory of Lea Salonga as a coach on all editions of the Philippine franchise of The Voice, a feat which was first achieved by Sarah Geronimo, made her the second coach in all franchises of the Voice around the world that managed artists in three different versions of The Voice (with Mitoy Yonting winning the first season of The Voice of the Philippines and Joshua Oliveros winning the third season of the Philippine version of The Voice Kids). Additionally, Kendra Aguirre and Isang Manlapaz respective victories as grand champions of the season marked the third consecutive and fifth overall victory of Sarah Geronimo and the first victory of apl.de.ap as coaches in the entire Philippine franchise of The Voice. Lastly, this was the final season of Salonga and Geronimo as coaches in the entire Philippine franchise of The Voice after serving as a coach for 8 and 7 seasons respectively.
