;Color keyBlind auditions
Filming for the blind auditions began on August 2, 2018. The blind auditions consists of five episodes, airing from September 8 to October 20, because two episodes were delayed to the following week due to two state funerals. Each coach has the length of the contestant's performance to choose them for their team. If more than two coaches want the same contestant, the contestant will choose which team they want to join. The blind auditions end when all teams are full. However, in this season two new rules were introduced:- The Block button, which was adopted from the fourteenth season of the U.S version, would prevent a coach from getting an artist if they turn their chairs. Each coach only had one Block per audition.
- The Mute button, which prevents a coach from talking with an artist in order to convince them to join their team, but instead could still do any kind of body language to interact with the contestant. However, the Mute only adds excitement to the program, as contestant can still pick the muted team. Each coach had only one Mute per audition. The Mute can only be used when the chairs are turned, as the Block button will turn into the Mute.
