Nick Viall sang it best. If you’re looking for a man in finance, bachelor, six five, brown eyes, then ABC’s got you covered.
Grant Ellis, a 31-year-old day trader from New Jersey, perfectly fits the description, and after capturing Bachelor Nation’s hearts on Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette, he’s returning to reality TV for another shot at finding lasting love as The Bachelor‘s Season 29 lead.
The Bachelor franchise has been on its annual hiatus since The Golden Bachelorette wrapped in November 2024, but a new year means a new lineup, starting with the return of its flagship series.
So when does The Bachelor premiere on ABC? Is The Bachelor on tonight? What time is The Bachelor on? Need to know how to watch The Bachelor live on ABC or on Hulu? Or want to familiarize yourself with the 25 women hoping to win Grant’s heart ahead of the premiere?
Here’s everything to know about The Bachelor Season 29 ahead of its highly-anticipated premiere.
Wondering when you can watch Grant Ellis return to the Bachelor Mansion? The Bachelor Season 29 premieres Monday, January 27 on ABC.
If you’re a long-time member of Bachelor Nation, you know the drill. Tune in to watch Grant’s Bachelor premiere on ABC from 8:00 p.m. ET to 10:00 p.m. ET.
In 2024, the franchise experimented with some Wednesday and Thursday night premieres, but “Bachelor Mondays” are so back. Until further notice, new episodes of Grant’s season of The Bachelor come out on Monday nights.
Want to watch new episodes of The Bachelor live? If you have a cable subscription that includes ABC, you can tune in live by setting your TV to the proper channel a few minutes before new episodes air. You can also use your cable username and password to watch live ABC episodes live on ABC.com or with the ABC app. And if your cable package includes a DVR, you can always record live episodes for later viewing.
Don’t have cable? Don’t worry! There are other live viewing options, like live TV skinny bundles, which give you access to networks without cable. YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and fuboTV, all come with ABC. But if you don’t have cable or a live TV skinny bundle, you can stream episodes the following day on Hulu.
Like other shows in the franchise, episodes of The Bachelor will be available for next-day streaming on Hulu. If an episode airs on ABC on Monday, that means it will be available for next-day streaming on Tuesday.
As always, you’ll have to be a Hulu subscriber in order to watch episodes of The Bachelor the day after they air on ABC. The good news is you’ll have access to the episode with any version of the streaming service. Hulu’s least expensive ad-supported plan costs $7.99 a month (or $79.99 a year), while its ad-free option is $17.99 a month. If you choose to add Live TV to your plan you can select an ad-supported Hulu + Live TV now with Disney+ and ESPN+ bundle for $76.99 a month or go ad-free for $89.99 a month.
