I know we’ve all become accustomed to watching on Tuesday nights because of The Bachelorette, but we are finally back to Bachelor Mondays! So if you happened to wake up this morning excited about The Bachelor Season 26 premiere, I’m happy (or maybe sad?) to report that it aired last night.

We got to experience Clayton Echard’s foray into this world as a lead after being a contestant on Michelle Young’s season. As we’ve seen over the years, it’s a totally different ball game when you’re having to court 30+ contestants and figure out whether or not you’re in love with them.

Clayton made a small impression on us as a contestant and while he didn’t get a lot of screen time, he did manage to wow us on his way out. I think we’re all looking forward to seeing how he does as the lead, and so far, I’ll say he’s not doing too bad!

When is The Bachelor Season 26 premiere airing?

As I mentioned, it aired last night and will continue to air on Monday nights throughout the season (barring any schedule changes we don’t know about yet). It’s a return to Bachelor Mondays, and we couldn’t be happier about this!

Clayton’s season certainly looks promising, and I’d say based on last night, we’re off to a great start. And on that note, we hope you’ll join us all season as we cover this season’s love stories, drama, and excitement!
