The Blind auditions took place on 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25 October at The Helix.[4] The coaches choose teams of artists through a blind audition process. Each coach has the length of the artists' performance to decide if they want that artist on their team. Should two or more coaches want the same artist, then the artist gets to choose their coach. Once the coaches have picked their team, they are to pit them against each other in the ultimate sing off; The Battles. A change this season is that of, if a coach has a full team of 12, they are still able to press their button and state their case as to why the artist should pick them.

Battles 3
Mark McLaughlin from Team Sharon withdrew from the competition due to an injury which left him incapable of singing. He and battle partner John Gaughan's original song choice was Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks". This left a vacancy for Sharon's tri-pairing which were Jennifer Lyons, Fiona McCourt and Aoife McLoughlin. It was then revealed that Lyons would replace McLaughlin and battle Gaughan. The song choice was changed to Bruno Mars' "Marry You".
