On 31 March 2025, it was revealed via social media that of the coaches last season, only Patrick Fiori would return for his tenth season. At the same time, it was revealed that Soprano and Matt Pokora, who both previously served as a coaches last in the seventh and fourth seasons, respectively, would return to the panel this season. Santa debuted as a coach this season after serving as a battle advisor for Fiori's team in the previous season.[5]
In the blind auditions, the four coaches are turned in a chair from the singer on the stage (hence the term "blind auditions"). When the coach wants to work with the artist, they press a buzzer in front of them, which then turns the chair to face the candidate, which means that the juror, who finally physically pushed the buzzer the candidate, is ready to coach the candidate and wants them on their team. If the coach is the only one to have turned around, then the artist goes by default to their team. On the other hand, if several coaches turn around, it is then up to the artist to choose which coach they want to join.
The "Super Block" rule is renewed this season. This rule allows a coach to block another coach until the final choice of the talent (therefore still usable after the talent's performance) and no longer before the latter turns around.
