The third and final season of the American music competition television show The X Factor premiered on Fox on September 11, 2013, and ended on December 19, 2013. This season was hosted by Mario Lopez. Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato returned to the judging panel, while Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio joined the panel as replacements for the departing judges.
Producer auditions began on March 6, 2013, in Los Angeles, and ended on May 4, 2013, in Denver. The judges auditions, which are televised, began on May 21, 2013, in Charleston, and ended on July 12, 2013, in Los Angeles. New for this season is the removal of the boot camp and judges' houses rounds of the competition which have been replaced with a new middle section, more reminiscent of the live shows.
On December 19, 2013, Alex & Sierra won the show, as mentored by Cowell. On February 7, 2014, Cowell announced he was returning to the British show to judge the 2014 British series, which was followed by Fox announcing that they would not be renewing the show for a fourth season.
Alex and Sierra's victory on X Factor, along with three other wins: Candice Glover won American Idol season 12, Danielle Bradbery won season 4 of The Voice USA, Tessanne Chin won season 5 of The Voice USA, making those victories a quadruple for female artists, remained the last time that a female artist had won a season in any major singing competition in North America (USA, Canada, and Mexico), excluding Got Talent franchises, until Alisan Porter won season 10 of The Voice USA in May 2016.
