Auditions
The initial auditions for the season opened on March 27, 2025, for Idol hopefuls aged 6 to 13 years old.[9] To advance and receive a golden ticket to the next round, an auditionee needed to receive at least three "yes" votes from the judges. The first audition episode was aired on June 28, 2025, with the final audition episode being aired on August 17, 2025. 67 Hopefuls advanced to the next round.
The midrounds were recorded at Studio 10 in ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center at Dilliman, Quezon City and first aired on August 23, 2025. All 67 hopefuls were grouped to six, with each group consisting of eleven (5 groups) or twelve (1 group) members. Each group will only have three hopefuls advancing to the semifinals–two selected by the judges and one selected by audience score. The audience score will have the audience grade each of the remaining hopefuls from 1 to 100. In total, 18 hopefuls advances to the live semifinals.
Composer Raul Mitra, Ana Graham, and TBA served as the guest mentors for this round, with Mitra mentoring the first two groups, Graham for the next two groups, and TBA for the last two groups.
