The sixth season of Philippine amateur singing competition Tawag ng Tanghalan, titled Tawag ng Tanghalan: Ika-anim na Taon, was an amateur singing competition aired as a segment of the noontime variety television show It's Showtime.^[1] The segment premiered from November 22, 2021 to May 6, 2023.

From January 6 to 15, 2022, daily live production of It's Showtime was halted due to the surge of COVID-19 cases caused by the Omicron variant. The season resumed on January 17, 2022.^[2]

From July 15, 2022 to April 29, 2023, the airtime of this segment was temporarily shortened due to 45 minutes of It's Showtime's airtime being given to Tropang LOL.^[3][4][5]

Additionally, this season of Tawag ng Tanghalan is the longest of all its seasons, running for a year and six months.

Changes

The mechanics for the daily rounds for this season were modified. In the first round, dubbed as "Battle of Versions," daily contenders perform the same song with their renditions. The winners of the first round advance to the second round, dubbed as the "Face-off," where contestants perform a song of their choice to snatch the golden microphone from the defending champion. The champion who defends their title five times advances to the quarterfinals, whereas reaching the eighth time automatically grants them a place in the semifinals.^[6]
