Blind auditions

The show began with the Blind Auditions on September 6, 2025. In each audition, a contestant sings their piece in front of the coaches whose chairs are facing the audience. If a coach is interested to work with the artist, they will press their button to face the artist. If a singular coach presses the button, the contestant automatically becomes part of their team. If multiple coaches turn, they will compete for the contestant, who will decide which team they will join. Each coach has two "blocks" to prevent another coach from getting an artist, but they can use them only after a contestant's performance. Each coach ends up with 12 artists by the end of the blind auditions, creating a total of 48 contestants advancing to the battles.

Battles round

The battles began airing on October 11, 2025. In this round, the coaches pick two of their contestants in a singing match and then select one of them to advance to the next round. Losing contestants may be "stolen" by another coach, becoming new members of their team. Multiple coaches can attempt to steal a contestant, resulting in a competition for the contestant, who will ultimately decide which team they will go to. At the end of this round, seven contestants will remain on each team; six will be battle winners, and one from a steal. In total, 28 contestants advance to the knockouts.
