The ninth season of La Voz premiered on June 2, 2020, on Azteca Uno. Ricardo Montaner and Belinda returned as coaches for their second season, while María José and Christian Nodal joined the panel, replacing Yahir and Lupillo Rivera. Jimena Pérez, the host from the previous season, was replaced by Eddy Vilard and Sofía Aragón.

Originally scheduled for March 30, 2020, the season was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. TV Azteca announced that the show was postponed until further notice to protect everyone's health. It was later announced that the new date would be June 2.

The block button returned for this season, allowing coaches to prevent another coach from selecting an artist they like. Each coach had two block opportunities during the blind auditions. This feature was first introduced in the seventh season produced by Televisa.

On Monday, August 31, 2020, Fernando Sujo was announced as the winner and crowned La Voz México 2020, along with his coach Christian Nodal. Nodal's win also makes him the youngest winning coach in the entire history of The Voice franchise.

Coaches

On January 21, 2020, TV Azteca officially confirmed the return of Ricardo Montaner and Belinda as coaches for their second season, along with new coaches María José and Christian Nodal. Nodal's inclusion as a coach made him the youngest coach in the history of The Voice franchise, surpassing Tini Stoessel from La Voz Argentina.

Similar to the previous season, there were no advisors present for either the Knockout or Battle Rounds. This continued the trend of not having advisors for those rounds.

The Battles

The Battle Round started on August 4. The coaches can steal two losing artists from other coaches. Contestants who win their battle or are stolen by another coach will advance to the Top 3 Round.

Top 3

The Top 3 Round started on August 18. After every performance, the artist's coach decides if the artist deserves a spot in the team's Top 3. If yes, the artist is given a chair by their coach. When all chairs are occupied the coach chooses an artist to seize his/her spot to the new artist and gets eliminated. Artists who are denied a chair by the coach are automatically eliminated. The Top 3 from each team advanced to the Semifinal.
