The fifth season of The Voice of Vietnam began on May 20, 2018. The coaching panel this season consists of returning coaches Thu Phương, Tóc Tiên, Noo Phước Thịnh; and former The Voice Kids coach Lam Trường.
This season was won by Trần Ngọc Ánh from team Noo Phước Thịnh. With her victory, Trần Ngọc Ánh became the first wildcard act to win the competition in the history of The Voice of Vietnam, and overall, the second wildcard act to win among all The Voice versions worldwide (the first was Anja Nissen of The Voice Australia). Also for the first time, the final 4 were all female.
Coaches and hosts
The coaching panel saw two changes from the previous season as it was revealed on April 6, 2018. Noo Phước Thịnh and Tóc Tiên returned for their second season as coaches. Thu Phương returned to the panel after one season hiatus, replacing Thu Minh; while former The Voice Kids coach Lam Trường joined the show as a new coach, replacing Đông Nhi. Meanwhile, former Sing My Song presenter Phí Linh replaced Nguyên Khang as the show's new host. Last season's winner, Ali Hoàng Dương, served as the backstage presenter during the Blind auditions.
The blind audition this season adopted the "Block" twist from the fourteenth season of the U.S version, which prevents a coach from getting an artist if they turn their chairs. The team sizes were reduced to 10 per team.

Notes
The Battles The Battle round was taped on June 4, 2018 and was broadcast from June 24 to July 15, 2018. The Battles' advisors for this season are: music producer Dương Cầm for team Thu Phương, former Sing My Song judges Nguyễn Hải Phong and Hồ Hoài Anh for team Lam Trường and Noo Phước Thịnh respectively, and diva Trần Thu Hà for team Tóc Tiên. Each coach can steal two losing artists from other coaches' teams, as previously applied in season 3. However, in a new twist, a "double-pick" is given to each team to save both contestants in a pairing under the condition that they would become a duo for the rest of the competition.
Hoàng Mạnh from team Noo Phước Thịnh was disqualified from the competition prior to the Battle taping day due to his undisciplined behavior during the rehearsal process. As a result, Noo Phước Thịnh grouped three of his artists into one battle, with two advanced and one eliminated.
Color key: Artist won the Battle and advanced to the Knockouts Artist lost the Battle but was stolen by another coach and advanced to the Knockouts Artist lost the Battle and was eliminated

The Knockouts/ The Cross Battles The Knockouts was taped on June 27 and broadcast from July 22 to August 5, 2018. For the first time in the show's history as well as The Voice franchise, the Knockouts would not be team-based but instead feature battles between members in different teams. Contestants from all four teams were paired randomly into one knockout battle, with the winner advanced to the Playoffs and the loser sent home. Each coach had three turns to "challenge" the other three coaches for a cross knockout battle. The challenge coach was allowed to select his/her own team member in a battle, and the chosen contestant would pick his/her knockout opponent randomly from the challenged coach's team. When there is only one contestant left in each team, the power to challenge other coaches would be granted to the coach with the highest number of winning battle.
