Blind Auditions In the Blind auditions, each coach had to complete their teams with 14 contestants. Each coach had three "blocks" to prevent another coach from getting a contestant. Twelve participants who got no chair turned were chosen to participate on The Comeback Stage. At the end of the blind auditions, Alejandro Sanz only used his block once, and Luis Fonsi didn't use his third block.

The Great Battles The battles round was broadcast on October 29. The coaches divide their contestants into four groups of three or four artists, depending on their music style. They perform a selected song by their respective coach together, and each coach decides how many, or even if any one of them advances in the competition. Coaches receive help from their advisors: María José Llergo for Team Alborán, Beret for Team Malú, Greeicy for Team Alejandro and David Bisbal for Team Fonsi. Out of 14 contestants, only seven contestants per team advance to the Knockouts.
