The third season of Portuguese The Voice Kids is a talent show broadcast on RTP1, which premiered on 8 May 2022. Carlão, Carolina Deslandes and Fernando Daniel returned for their second seasons as coaches and in the meantime, Marisa Liz was replaced by young sensation Bárbara Tinoco. Presenter Catarina Furtado continues to host the show, and Fábio Lopes also returns as the backstage presenter.
Maria Gil won the season, marking Fernando Daniel's second consecutive win as a coach. Just like in 2021, The Voice Kids was the program used to select the Portuguese artist that would represent the country in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2022. However, this time the winner (Gil) could not represent Portugal due to being above the age eligible for participants in the contest. On 10 August, RTP confirmed that one of the runners-up, Nicolas Alves, was selected to represent Portugal in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2022, as he received the second biggest number of votes to win The Voice Kids season three. Contrary to the final episode, as only the winner placement was announced, this implies that Margarida Rodrigues and Martim Helena finished in third place.
