The Comeback Stage

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.

Final Phase

The Live Shows were originally scheduled to start April 5, but due to the COVID-19 outbreak they were delayed until further notice. It wasn’t until July, that Telemundo announced that the return was officially on Sunday, July 26.[5] But due to the pandemic, everything had pre-recorded earlier on the same day they were aired to be able to follow and comply with health safety guidelines.

This season, phone calls and text messaging voting methods were removed, leaving Telemundo.com, Telemundo App and Xfinity X1 as the only options for voting.[6]

Week 1 & 2: Cross Battles (July 26 & August 2)

This season, the Playoffs were replaced by the Cross Battles 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.[7]

Due to a limited number of seating spots in the main stage for participants, and following social distancing, as well as other safety precautions and guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Sugeily Cardona, Julio Castillo, Santiago Ramos and Alonso Garcia performed from a remote room backstage which was displayed on the stage’s screen.
