The Bachelor Season 26 is less than a week away from premiering, believe it or not. There wasn’t much of a gap between Michelle Young’s season of The Bachelorette ending and this season starting, and we have COVID-19 to thank for that.

Because of all the production delays, things have gotten moved around and within one calendar year, we’ve had four Bachelorettes and will have had two Bachelors. It’s pretty wild to think that there have been that many shows and it’s probably why so many people are burned out from them.

Nonetheless, many are looking forward to Clayton Echard’s season of The Bachelor. We didn’t get to know much about him during Michelle’s season, but there is personality there that we don’t know much about. I’m looking forward to seeing more of that come out during the season, and I’m hoping it makes the season more enjoyable to watch.

And with that, if you’re hoping to watch the Season 26 premiere then we have all the details on how, when, and where you can watch it below!

Is the Season 26 premiere of The Bachelor tonight?

Like I mentioned before, the premiere is not tonight. It will premiere on ABC on Monday, January 3, at 8 PM EST. We’re going back to Bachelor Mondays, folks! I know that it’s just a day of the week but it’s felt so odd without the show airing on Mondays. Bachelor/ette Tuesdays just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

It should be an interesting season and will introduce us to not just a new set of contestants, but also a lead we don’t know much about. This is the first time, in a long time, that we aren’t going into a season knowing a lot about the lead.

Along with that change, there is also going to be a shift in hosting duties as former Bachelor, Jesse Palmer, is going to take over for Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen him so it’ll be interesting to see how he does as the host, and how Bachelor Nation will react to him.

I’m looking forward to it all, and I hope you guys are too!

You can watch the episode on ABC or with FuboTV (which offers a free trial to watch all episodes of The Bachelor franchise live!).
