The Voice Senior is a Polish reality talent show premiered on December 7, 2019, on the TVP 2 television network.

Format

The show consists of four different phases: production auditions, blind auditions, the "sing-off", and the live finale. The production auditions are not filmed, and this is where contestants are selected to go to the blind auditions.

= Blind auditions =

The contestants sing during the blind audition while the chairs of the coaches are turned over. Each candidate has the chance to sing a song of their choice for about a minute and a half. Coaches can only choose the contestant on the basis of musicality and voice by pressing the button, causing their chairs to turn around and facing the artist. If two or more coaches want the same artist, the artist chooses which coach they want to continue in the program. The blind auditions end when all teams are full.

= Semifinal =

Each coach pairs two or three singers from his team who have to compete against each other by performing a song chosen by the coach. After the performances, the coach chooses one contestant from each pair to advance to the next round.

= Live finale =

The remaining contestants from each team will be in the final. The live finale will be broadcast live on TVP 2. The contestants are mentored by their coach and choose a song that they want to sing in the final. The coach then decides one act to remain; the other act will then be eliminated. The final winner is chosen by the public at home by televoting.
