The advisors for the Battle round include: Mario Domm for Team Wisin, Jesse & Joy for Team Guzmán, Karol G for Team Fonsi, and Sebastián Yatra for Team Vives.
In the Blind Auditions, each coach had to complete their teams with 12 contestants. Each coach had two Blocks to prevent another of the coaches from getting a contestant. Six participants who got no chair turn were chosen to participate on The Comeback Stage.
NOTE: For consistency reasons, the "Quiero Tu Voz" button is referred by its English title, as recognised in summaries of other national versions of the franchise.
The Battle Rounds started on March 8. Season two advisors include: Mario Domm for Team Wisin, Jesse & Joy for Team Guzmán, Karol G for Team Fonsi, and Sebastián Yatra for Team Vives. The coaches can steal one losing artist from other coaches. Contestants who win their battle or are stolen by another coach will advance to the Cross Battles.

For this season, the show added a brand new phase of competition called The Comeback Stage that was exclusive to the Telemundo App, La Voz YouTube Channel, Instagram, Twitter and Telemundo.com. After failing to turn a chair in the blind auditions, artists had the chance to be selected by fifth coach Mau y Ricky to become a member of their six-person team. The Comeback Stage consists of three rounds: The Battles, Semifinals and Finale. In the Finale, the public decides who wins, who will officially join one of the four main teams for the Semifinals.
The first episode explained the format of The Comeback Stage. The digital episodes were available Mondays at 10 am/9c on Twitter Live, and were later available on all other digital platforms.
The Battles were part of the main show's Battle segment. Like the show itself, two artist faced each other in a same song battle, and only one advanced based on their coach's choice.
The Semifinal was part of the transition between the Battles and Cross Battles segment of the show. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this phase was not shown until the return of the show after the pause. Mau y Ricky chose two artists to advance and the other one was eliminated.
The Finale was part of the Cross Battle segment of the show. The performances for both artists were on August 3rd, with results being announced on Episode 14 and the winner becoming a Semifinalist. Aaron Barrios received the highest votes and chose to join Team Wisin.
The live shows were originally scheduled to start April 5. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Telemundo delayed them until July 26. In contrast to season 18 of the show's NBC counterpart The Voice (where the live rounds were conducted in a fully-remote format), in-studio production resumed in Miami at Cisneros Studios; under enhanced health and safety protocols in cooperation with Film Florida, including social distancing and no studio audience, with episodes recorded earlier in the day prior to broadcast.
This season, phone calls and text messaging voting methods were removed, leaving Comcast-related sites (Telemundo's Web site and app, along with Xfinity X1) as the only options for voting.

This season, the Playoffs were replaced by the Cross Battles (Los Enfrentamientos) which compromised episodes 12 and 13. Also, this season the beginning of the "Live Shows" featured a Top 28 instead of a Top 32. Each night featured seven pairs, where coaches selected an artist from their team, then challenged a fellow coach to compete against, and this coach selected an artist as well. The artist with the highest public's votes from each cross battle advanced, with the other artist being automatically eliminated.
For these Cross Battles, only 24 of the 28 contestants were permitted to perform in the main studio. In compliance with safety precautions and guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Film Florida, four contestants -- Sugeily Cardona, Julio Castillo, Santiago Ramos and Alonso Garcia -- performed from a remote room backstage which was displayed on the stage's screen.
During the episode, the results for both nights of Cross Battles were announced one by one. After announcing the winner, the winner's Semifinal performance followed. After the fourteen results and performances were announced, Aaron Barrios was revealed as The Comeback Stage winner. He decided to join the Top 15 on Team Wisin.
This season all teams had a different amount of artists. Team Fonsi & Team Vives advanced with five members each. Team Guzmán & Team Wisin advanced with two members each, but with The Comeback Stage artist Wisin advanced with three.
The final episode was filmed on Sunday, August 16th with same-day coverage that night. It featured group performances from the coaches with their team members, followed by group performances of the semi-finalists and solo performances of the coaches and guests. After performance #9, 10, 11, 12 a group of three to four people were called up to the stage and on each occasion one of the artists was announced as a finalist. At the end of the evening the Top 4 results were announced.
