The fifth season of the Romanian reality talent show Vocea României premiered on ProTV on December 18, 2015. The hosts and the coaches from the previous season have all returned.

This season brought rule changes. Firstly, during the blind auditions, the coaches' chairs only turned around at the end of the performance if at least one of them had pressed the "I WANT YOU" button. Lastly, in the semi-final, each of the eight contestants engaged in a "crossed duel" with a contestant from another team. The winner of the duel was selected by public vote only. This opened up the possibility of coaches ending up with 0, 1 or 2 contestants in the final.

The season finale aired on December 18, 2015. Teams Tudor and Moga had one finalist each, while Team Smiley had two. Both semi-finalists in Team Loredana had been eliminated. , best known as the lead vocalist of the bands and ABCD and mentored by Tudor Chirilă, was declared winner of the season. It was Chirilă's second consecutive victory as a coach.

Pre-selections took place in the following cities:

The first phase of the competition, the blind auditions, taped July 25–26 and August 3–4, 2015, at the Kentauros Studios, Ștefăneștii de Jos, began airing when the season premiered on September 18, 2015.

The first of seven pre-recorded audition episodes aired on Friday, September 18, 2015.

The second episode aired on September 25, 2015.

The third episode was aired on October 2, 2015.

The fourth episode aired on October 9, 2015.

The fifth episode aired on October 16, 2015.

The sixth episode was aired on October 23, 2015.

The seventh and last blind audition episode aired on October 30, 2015.

After the blind auditions, each coach had fourteen contestants for the battle rounds, which aired November 6–20, 2015. Coaches began narrowing down the playing field by training the contestants. Each episode featured nine or ten battles consisting of pairings from within each team, and each battle concluding with the respective coach eliminating one of the two contestants. Each coach could steal one losing contestant from another team, thus saving them from elimination. Color key:
