The Bachelor Season 26 premiere is tonight, folks! That means it’s time to gather around, grab your wine glasses, and get pumped for Clayton Echard’s journey of love. It’s been a while since we’ve had a season of The Bachelor so it will be nice to mix things up–it’s felt a bit repetitive hasn’t it?

Clayton’s journey in this franchise began during Michelle Young’s season of The Bachelorette, which just concluded a couple of weeks ago. Clayton was there until the sixth week, so he stuck around for quite a bit. For a while, it seemed like he might even have been one of the last ones standing, but alas, that was not the case.

His final episode as a contestant was clearly an audition to be the Bachelor. I mean, those letters from the kiddos and just how they spent a little extra time on his farewell? Yeah, that was totally them setting him for what would eventually be his journey to finding love.

In any case, his journey begins tonight, and here’s all the information you need to watch!
