Your Face Sounds Familiar (Philippine TV series) season 4

The fourth season of the singing impersonation competition Your Face Sounds Familiar premiered on Kapamilya Channel on October 4, 2025. Vhong Navarro and Jhong Hilario debuted as hosts for this season, while Gary Valenciano, Ogie Alcasid, and Sharon Cuneta all returned to serve as members of the jury. The season introduced a number of format twists and extended the round duration to two weeks, a deviation from previous seasons.

Format
The show follows a competition where celebrity performers are tasked to impersonate any icon, living or dead, regardless of their age, race or gender. A three-person jury ranks the contestants, with their cumulative points being combined with points given by the performers amongst themselves to determine a winner for that round. For this season, the duration of each round runs for two weekends, deviating from the one-weekend duration of each round in the previous seasons. Twists The season introduced a variety of twists for the format, including the following: • Steal – Based on "Te lo robo" from the original Spanish version of the format, the Steal allows a performer to take another performer’s assigned icon for the following week by pressing the red button during the Iconizer segment. • Battle of One Icon — Two or more celebrity performers are assigned to impersonate the same icon while performing different songs. == Contestants ==
Contestants
The eight contestants were first teased on September 24, 2025, and were revealed two days later on September 26. Pepe Herrera withdrew from the competition on Episode 13 (November 15) for health-related reasons. == Results summary ==

Broadcast
On January 2, 2026, the show and other remaining ABS-CBN programs airing on TV5 were transferred to AMBS' ALLTV, marking its return to channels 2 and 16 in Mega Manila and regional channels previously held by ABS-CBN until 2020. This occurred after TV5 Network's decision to terminate its content partnership deal with ABS-CBN, which effectively ceased broadcasting programs produced by the latter on TV5, due to financial disputes involving blocktime fees, which was subsequently settled. == References ==
