Blind Auditions Introduction The Blind Auditions premiered on February 13, 2026 being aired on a weekly basis. Same as last season, artists who did not get any coach turned around would have the chance to compete in "The Comeback Stage" if selected by the fifth coaches Maarten & Dorothee. The "block" buttons returned, however this season, the coaches cannot block a coach individually, each coach is given one "ultimate block", which blocks all other coaches that have turned around. This feature can only be used after the artists performance.
The coaches performed "Ik Wil Je" to kick off the blind auditions.

Cross Battles The Cross Battles returned from last season. In this round, the coaches selected an artist from their team, then challenged a fellow coach to compete against, and this coach selected an artist as well. Due to the nature of the round, team sizes have the possibility to vary going into live shows as there are no quotas. The winner of each cross battle is determined by the two coaches not participating in the battle, together with seven former coaches: Natalia Druyts (season 9), Alex Callier (season 6), Bent Van Looy (season 4), Bart Peeters (season 6), Tourist LeMC (season 7), Axelle Red (season 3) and Jan Paternoster (season 9).
Artists who were not chosen at the end of this round will have the chance to compete in "The Comeback Stage" if selected by the fifth coach Maarten & Dorothee.
At the end of the round, five artists from Team Joost advanced, three from Teams Laura and Mathieu, and one from Team Koen.
