The ninth season of Bulgarian singing reality competition Glasat na Bulgaria premiered on 4 September 2022. The show is broadcast by bTV on Sundays, starting at 8 pm. The four coaches from previous season, Ivan Lechev, Galena, Lubo Kirov and Dara returned for another season.
Jacklyn Tarracki was crowned the "voice", marking Dara’s first win as a coach.
The coaching panel remains unchanged from previous season: Ivan Lechev, Galena, Lubo Kirov and Dara.[1] Ivan Tishev remains as the presenter and is joined by Preyah as V-Reporter online,[2] replacing Alexandra Bogdanska.
Continuing the rule from the previous season, coaches could have an unlimited number of contestants on their team and finalize them at the end of the auditions. However, unlike last season, coaches have to cut their team members down to 12 participants, instead of 14. Each coach was given two "blocks" to use during the blinds, but Dara and Galena only used one.

The battles begin airing on October 23. The battle advisors for each coach this season were the following: Alexandrina Pendatchanska for Team Ivan, Mihaela Marinova for Team Dara, third season coach Desi Slava for Team Galena, and Nina Nikolina for Team Lubo.
New to this season is the implementation of "unlimited steals". Each artist that is stolen will sit in a designated seat in the "Steal room" as they watch the other performances. If a coach steals one artist but later decides to steal another, the previous artist will be replaced and eliminated.[3] After the battle rounds, the artist who ends-up seating on the chair will move to the next round.

The Cross Battles began airing on 13 November and ended on 20 November. In this round, each coach was left with seven contestants. For the first time, the singers did not know their competitor until the moment of rehearsals. Only fourteen contestants, regardless of team, were let through the Semi-final.
