The third season of Your Face Sounds Familiar premiered on the Kapamilya Channel on February 20, 2021. The season is the first to air outside ABS-CBN after the network's shutdown and franchise denial in 2020. The season was presented by debuting host Luis Manzano while the jury was composed of Sharon Cuneta, Gary Valenciano, and Ogie Alcasid. Taped during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, the season was filmed without a live audience and was subject to a number of health and safety protocols.
Klarisse de Guzman was named as the winner at the season finale held on May 30, 2021, attaining a total combined score of 90%. This season was also the first to implement the scoring system used in the finales of the Kids editions.
Format
The show follows a competition where celebrity performers are tasked to impersonate any icon, living or dead, regardless of their age, race or gender. A three-person jury ranks the contestants, with their cumulative points being combined with points given by the performers amongst themselves to determine a winner for that week.
Contestants
The contestants and their monikers were revealed on February 4, 2021. Jhong Hilario decided to withdrew on Week 7, becoming the first to do so in the show's history, leaving seven performers competing for the grand prize from then on.

Notes Despite Lil' Kim being part of the collaboration that sang "Lady Marmalade", she wasn't impersonated as the iDolls are a trio and not a quartet. Although the original version of "Bawal Lumabas" played in the iconizer, the Brian Cua Summer Anthem Mix arrangement was used in the performance.

Week 7 (April 17 & 18) Owing to the inability to press the iconizer in the previous weeks, the icons were revealed through the show's social media accounts without revealing who the icon was assigned to.
Jhong announced his withdrawal from the show on April 17, 2021, to care for his newborn daughter, leaving the show with 107 points and two weekly wins. Geneva was not able to perform for this week and the following three weeks following her mother's exposure and subsequent death to COVID-19. Due to the absences, the highest score a member of the jury can give to a contestant is 6.
With Jhong's withdrawal, the format was re-adjusted, four contestants performed during Saturdays and the remaining three during Sundays.
