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. 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.

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.

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.

Hosts and judges

Vhong Navarro, Vice Ganda, Amy Perez, and Kim Chiu reprised their roles as hosts, with Karylle, Ion Perez, Ogie Alcasid, and Jackie Gonzaga as the rotating fifth co-host. Anne Curtis and Jhong Hilario both returned to their hosting duties in May and June after their respective hiatuses.

Ryan Bang reprised his role as gong master with substitutes Jameson Blake and Maymay Entrata, and Jugs Jugueta, and Teddy Corpuz appeared in past roles occasionally.

Jugueta, Corpuz and Perez returned as backstage hosts.

Louie Ocampo, Ogie Alcasid, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Erik Santos, Klarisse de Guzman, Nyoy Volante, Jed Madela, Karylle, Yeng Constantino, Kyla, Angeline Quinto, and Jolina Magdangal returned as judges for the sixth season.

Marco Sison, Darren Espanto, and Jona Viray joined the judging panel on November 1, 2022, February 21, 2023 and April 17, 2023 respectively.

Starting from May 1, 2023, the amount of judges returned to 5 judges for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines implemented restrictions that caused the amount of judges to be reduced to 3 judges.

Randy Santiago, Rey Valera, and K Brosas did not return due to their commitments to Sing Galing. Past judges Karla Estrada and Mitoy Yonting also did not return. However, Gary Valenciano reprised his role for the grand finale.
