Changes
Coaches and Hosts
Among the four coaches in the previous season, only Billy Crawford and Julie Anne San Jose remained in the panel, marking their second season appearance as coaches. Pablo and Stell both left the panel and were replaced by two new coaches, as well as the first season in the Philippine franchise of The Voice to feature a "double chair". On July 31, 2025, Zack Tabudlo and Ben&Ben's Paolo and Miguel Benjamin Guico were announced as new coaches.[4] Tabudlo is the first alumni in the history of The Voice Philippines franchise to serve a coach (as he appeared in the inaugural season).[5]
Coach replay
A new feature this season is the coach replay, where each coach can save an eliminating no-chair turner artist after his/her audition.

Blind auditions
The season will begin with the blind auditions. In each audition, each artist performs their piece in front of the panel of coaches, whose chairs are facing the audience. If a coach is interested in working with the artist, they may opt to press the button to face the artist. An artist is defaulted to a coach when only one coach turns; if multiple coaches turn, the coaches compete for the artist, who will later choose their coach. Each coach can use the coach replay once to save an eliminating no-chair turner artist in the entire span of blind auditions. Same as the previous season, each coach needs to recruit 9 artists on their teams, making it a total of 36 artists to advance to The Battles.

The Battles
The second stage of the show, The Battles, will air on November 2, with 36 artists advancing to this round. The coaches pit three of their artists in a singing match and then select one of them to advance to the next round. The ability to steal an artist from other teams continued this season. Losing artists may be "stolen" by another coach. Same as the previous season, the steals are done off-stage, where the coaches must go to the artists with their families backstage to steal the artist they want to become the member of their team.
At the end of this round, four artists will remain on each team; three will be the battle winners, and one from a steal. In total, 16 artists advance to the sing-offs.
