X Factor (Danish TV series) season 14

X Factor is a Danish television music competition showcasing new singing talent. Like the end of season 13, season 14 continued live shows without audiences due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Solveig Lindelof won the season and Oh Land became the winning mentor for the first time and Solveig Lindelof became the first winner in the Danish X Factor history to appear in the bottom two.

Judges and hosts
Thomas Blachman and Oh Land returned as judges for a 13th and third season respectively, while Ankerstjerne did not return for a third season. DJ Martin Jensen took over as judge from Ankerstjerne, introducing him to the competition for the first time.

For a sixth season, Sofie Linde Ingversen returned as the host of the show. Sofie hosted the auditions, the returning 5 Chair Challenge, and the Bootcamp. For the live shows, she would take maternity leave, appointing the hosting role to comedian Melvin Kakooza. In late February however, Melvin had a brain tumor, rendering him unable to host the show. Lise Rønne, the former host of seasons 1, 2, 4, and 5, agreed to replace Melvin as host of the show. She was hesitant initially but agreed by reason of circumstances.

Selection process
Auditions took place in Copenhagen and Aarhus. Oh Land was assigned to mentor the 15-22s category, Martin Jensen the Over 23s, and Blachman the Groups.
