Episode 3 (25 September)
Episode 4 (2 October)
Episode 5 (9 October)
Episode 6 (16 October)
Notes
- In episode 3, the coaches gave Dayana Emma a second chance to perform a new song.
- Laura saw Alejandro blocking her and, therefore, she didn't try to press her button. The block didn't count and Alejandro got the chance to block again.
The Knockouts
This season, the rules for "Los Asaltos" changed. Each coach had to make three groups of five artists from their team to compete in a Knockout. At the end of all five performances, their coach could only advance with one of the artists. But, each coach has two steals which they can use to steal losing artists from other teams. Coaches received help from their advisors: Tini Stoessel for Team Alejandro, Sebastián Yatra for Team Pablo, Carlos Rivera for Team Laura, and Mala Rodríguez for Team Antonio. At the end of this round, each coach advanced with five artists into the Battles.

The battles
This round started with the Top 20 and each coach had five contestants. Each one granted an artist the "Fast Pass", who advanced to the Playoffs without battling a team member. The remaining artists battled another team member and only one was chosen to advance. For this round, the advisors from the Knockouts were also present. The "Fast Pass" artist and the two artists from each team who won their battle advanced to the Playoffs.

The Comeback Stage
For this season, the show added a brand new phase of competition called The Comeback Stage that was exclusive to Atresplayer and show's official YouTube channel. After failing to turn a chair in the blind auditions, artists had the chance to be selected by fifth coach Miriam Rodríguez to become a member of her team.
- In the first phase (which was part of the main show's Blind Auditions segment), after every audition night, the coach chose two no-chair turn artists to compete against each other. Coach Miriam then had the task to choose one to advance into the next round.
- In the second round (which was part of the main show's Knockouts segment), the coach had to create a 3-people Knockout with two of her Round One winners, and one artist she stole from the main competition that night.
- In the third phase, Round Two's winners battled it out and only one won going through to the main competition's Playoffs.
- In round four, Miriam chose an eliminated artist from the main competition's Battles to go into the Playoffs and compete against Round Three's winner.

Final phase
This season, the final phase was pre-recorded, instead of live, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. During the Playoffs and Semifinal, the public present in the studio voted for their favorites to advance into the next round. In the Finale, they eventually pick who wins the season.
Week 1: Playoffs (20 November)
The Playoffs started with each team singing a song of their coach. Then, "The Comeback Stage" artists performed and Kelly won with majority of votes from the public; he decided to join Team Laura. Finally, the contestants performed by teams; the public voted for one artist, while each coach chose a second artist to advance into the Semifinal.

At the end of the episode, the public voted for their four favorite artists, from any team, to advance to the Finale.
With the advancements of Curricé, Paula Espinosa, Johanna Povollo and Kelly, Antonio Orozco and Laura became the first coaches to have more than one artist represented in the finals. Additionally, with the eliminations of Miguelichi, Adam Ainouz, Rafael Ruiz and Roger Padrós, Alejandro Sanz and Pablo López no longer have more artists, making it the first season since the inception of the show, which a coach did not have an artist represented at the finale. Moreover, this was also the first season in which only two coaches would be represented in the finale.
