The Bachelor Winter Games airs two nights a week in February. Don’t have cable? You don’t have to miss a minute of the challenges, dates, and hookups.
The season is short, but The Bachelor Winter Games is worth checking out. Five contestants were eliminated one night one, but there’s more drama to come. But it’s not all about tears — there’s plenty of humor and camaraderie between the Team USA and the international contestants.
Considering terribly sad news headlines, we could all use a light-hearted TV show to perk us up. Here’s how you can watch the Winter Games live streaming online, or catch up on previous episodes without a cable subscription.
ABC offers a live stream of every Bachelor franchise show, but you need to live in a specific city to watch. If you don’t live in one of the cities listed below, find some options below for streaming current or previous episodes cable free (yes, they are totally legal).
Watch live on on ABCgo.com or by downloading the free Watch ABC mobile app in the following cities. (You must verify your TV provider login to watch) — Chicago, Fresno, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Raleigh-Durham, or San Francisco.
Keep in mind, ABC adds many shows (including The Bachelor and Winter Games) to their online lineup one week after the episode airs — no cable login needed!)
Cable-free viewing options
DirectTV Now: I started using this service after finally ditching cable. The free trial is 7-days, but I got the Live a Little Plan (normally $35/mo) for $10/mo deal for 3-months by using the code YESNOW3 at checkout (limited time offer – not sure when it expires).
