The season will introduce a number of changes as far as the rules of the show are concerned. First of all, the number of contestants was increased from 12 to 15. Moreover, coaches will now be able to use their "Superblock button" only after a contestant's performance. The number of blocks was increased from two to three. Unlike in previous seasons, during the Battles stage coaches will have to divide their teams into trios, not duos, and only one person from each trio will advance to the Knockout round, during which 5 contestants from each of the teams will perform, but only four of them will be chosen to compete in the Live shows.[3]
The show began with the Blind Auditions on September 2, 2023. In each audition, an artist 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 artist automatically becomes part of their team. If multiple coaches turn, they will compete for the artist, who will decide which team they will join. Each coach has three "superblocks" to prevent another coach from getting an artist, but they can use it only after a contestant's performance. Each coach ends up with 15 artists by the end of the blind auditions, creating a total of 60 artists advancing to the battles.

The battles began airing on October 7, 2023. This season's battles have been divided into 2 parts. During pre-battle, the coaches pick three of their artists in a singing match and then select two of them to advance to the main battle to perform as a duo. During the main battle two of their artists will perform a different song and then coach select one of them to advance to the next round. At the end of this round, five artists will remain on each team. In total, 20 artists advance to the knockouts. For the first time since the inaugural season, there are no steals during the battles round.

The knockouts began airing on October 7, 2023. During this stage, all contestants have to sing. In the end, four contestants from each team qualify for the live episodes.
The Live shows began on November 4, 2023. When the teams consist of four contestants, the coach chooses from among the two contestants with the fewest votes from the viewers (who decide by sending text messages) the person who drops out of the program. Each live episode ends with the elimination of one person from each group. In the semi-final (when the team is made up of two people), each coach divides 100 points to their artists in any way they want. The same happens with the viewers' votes, and the artist with the most points added passes through to the Final.
