Veteran coaches Hồ Hoài Anh & Lưu Hương Giang returned to the show after a two-season hiatus, as well as Vũ Cát Tường and Soobin Hoàng Sơn who both returned from the last season. Singer Bảo Anh and music producer Khắc Hưng joined as new coaches. This season marked the first time in any version of The Voice worldwide to have three different duo coaches, and the second time in the whole franchise that the judging panel consists of six coaches, following the Belgian-Flemish Kids version.

14-year-old Hà Quỳnh Như was announced the winner of the season. It was Hồ Hoài Anh & Lưu Hương Giang's third victory as coaches throughout the series.

Blind 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.

The Battles
The Battle Round was taped on September 18, 2018. The 15 contestants in each team will be divided into five match-ups, each with three contestants. Each group will perform a pre-rehearsed song on the stage. After going on stage to finish the confrontation song with the contestants and coaches, the coaches will name one of the three contestants of each group as the winner. This season, the Battle Round introduced the Save button that allowed a coach to keep a contestant they just eliminated from the competition, which is similar to the Knockout stage of the fourteenth season of the U.S version. Contestants who won their battles or saved by their coaches will advance to the Playoffs.

Due to health problems, coach Khắc Hưng was not able to attend the Battle round, leaving Bảo Anh to make decisions on the result of the Battles of team Khắc Hưng & Bảo Anh alone. The advisors for each team are: singer Hồ Quỳnh Hương for team Soobin & Vũ Cát Tường, former coaches Đông Nhi & Ông Cao Thắng for team Hồ Hoài Anh & Lưu Hương Giang, and Dương Triệu Vũ for team Khắc Hưng & Bảo Anh.

The Playoffs
Similar to the previous season, all the playoffs rounds were pre-recorded until the Playoff, Part 5 (Top 10). Results are voted on in real-time by audience attending the show in the filming location by both tele-voting and mobile app.

This season, two Wildcards are awarded. The first one would bring back a contestant who was eliminated prior to the Semi-finals (including the Battles) straight to the Semi-finals, while the second one would advance an artist eliminated in the Semi-final to the Live Finale. Audience can vote for the Wildcard with the same method for the contestant in Playoff rounds.

Special guest stars performed on the Live Semi-final and the Live Final. Singers Hồng Thắm, Phan Mạnh Quỳnh along with former contestants Erik (season 1 contestant), Phương Mỹ Chi (season 1 runner-up), Đỗ Thị Hoài Ngọc (season 5 runner-up) and Dương Ngọc Ánh (season 5 winner) performed with the semi-finalists on the Semi-final. Trần Minh Như (The X Factor Vietnam season 2 winner) and Trần Ngọc Ánh (The Voice season 5 winner) performed on the Final.

Round 1: Minishow (17 November, 24 November and 1 December)
As first applied in the previous season, in the first round of the Playoffs, all teams had to set up a minishow which consists of performances from all team members and concludes with a group performance of the coaches and the contestants. Each team performed on one night and nominated two contestants for elimination at the end of the night. The final result was announced after all teams performed at the end of night 3. In a new twist, the team receiving the most public vote would be declared safe and would have all team members advanced to the next round, while the two other coaches would lose the two contestants nominated for elimination earlier.

Team Hồ Hoài Anh & Lưu Hương Giang received the most votes from the public, therefore had two contestants nominated for elimination saved.

Round 2: Top 14 (8 December)

Round 4: Semifinals- Top 7 (22 December)
The Semifinal was recorded live, featuring competition performances from the remaining 7 artists for the public's vote as well as performances with guest artists.

At the end of the night, the three artists that received the most votes from the public were automatically sent through to the Grand Finale, while the fourth finalist who was saved by Wildcard would be announced on Tuesday, December 25.
