When does The Bachelor season 26 with Clayton start?

As we say goodbye to Michelle Young’s awesome season of The Bachelorette soon, we wave a big hello to our next leading gentleman who will be the talk of the town in the coming weeks. Of course, we’re talking about none other than Clayton Echard, who will be the star of The Bachelor season 26!

He’s tall, handsome and a lover of dogs! So, it’s safe to say that Bachelor Nation is certainly counting down the days until they get to see Clayton’s journey of finding the woman of his dreams.

When will we be able to see the start of Clayton’s love story? We’ve got you covered as we tell you just when

season 26 will officially arrive on your screens.
