Overview
Coaches and host
On October 2024, it was announced that after 6 years Guy Sebastian would not be returning to the show.[3] On 28 January 2025, it was announced that Kate Miller-Heidke would return as a coach for the fourteenth season for her second season from the previous season.

Note: Italicised names are artists stolen from another team during the battles (names struck through within former teams). Underlined names are artists saved by their coach during the battles.
Blind auditions
In the blind auditions, the coaches complete their teams with 10 members each. The regular block returned from last season, each coach receives one to effectively block another coach from getting an artist. Additionally, the ultimate block, which was introduced last season, returned. The feature blocks all other coaches, defaulting the artist to the user's team. With either block, the coach who is blocked is null and invalid to pitch for the artist. Like last season, a coach can block at any time, even during their pitch, as long as the coach turned their chair.

Battles
The battles aired from 7 to 21 September. Each coach forms duets from two artists on their team. Of the two artists, the coach declares one the winner of the battle. The winner moves on directly to the knockouts. The loser of the battle is either eliminated, "saved" by their coach, or "stolen" by another coach to move on to the knockouts.

Hunter Black was originally eliminated after Keating opted not to save him directly following the battle. However, Keating brought him back on stage and saved him after stating he "made a big mistake" not saving Black originally.
All coaches attempted to use a lifeline on Gemma Hollingsworth in episode 12, after previously using their lifelines. Melanie C used her save, while Keating, Miller-Heidke, and Marx followed by using their steals. Hollingsworth opted to stay on Team Melanie C, with Melanie C having one extra member in knockouts.
