Is The Bachelor on tonight, Tuesday, January 11?

THE BACHELOR - "2602" - Clayton moves forward in his journey to find love with the 22 incredible women who remain. After moving into the Bachelor Mansion for the first time since the pandemic began, these eligible singles are ready to kick off a week of dates! On the season's first group date, celebrity guest Hilary Duff enlists the help of the ladies to throw a dream Beverly Hills birthday party, but when one woman is more interested in spending time with Clayton than the kids, the others have strong feelings to share. Later, one lucky lady flies high with Clayton on the first one-on-one date featuring a surprise musical performance by Amanda Jordan; and Ziwe stops by the second group date to help Clayton spot potential red flags among his bachelorettes. After the dates have all ended, a major storm brews heading into the cocktail party when a shocking secret about a woman who already has a rose is revealed. Will Clayton be forced to do something that no other Bachelor has ever done before? Find out on "The Bachelor," airing MONDAY, JAN. 10 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EST), on ABC. (ABC/John Fleenor)CLAYTON ECHARD

To answer this question right off the bat, there is no new episode of The Bachelor Season 26 tonight. In case you might have missed it, we are back to Bachelor Monday programming and so we’ve bid farewell (for now) to Tuesday nights. I’m sure if there is a two-night event down the road that may change but for now, we’re sticking to Mondays.

Last night’s episode, however, was quite eventful and dramatic. A lot was going on and I think it was clear Clayton Echard still has a lot to learn as the Bachelor. Luckily, Hilary Duff did stop by to help him out during a group date, but I don’t think even she could do anything about the drama that was unfolding.

We got to see some of the claws come out and finally began to see some of the contestants unravel. That is when the season gets a bit out of hand and sadly, more entertaining. We’ll have to keep tuning in to see how Clayton’s journey plays out, but things are off to a wild start already.

When is The Bachelor Season 26, Episode 2 premiering?

As I mentioned above, the episode aired on Monday, January 10 on ABC at 8 PM EST. Episodes usually air on Mondays, however, next week there will be no episode so we won’t have a new episode for another two weeks.

I know, I’m bummed about it, but it’s okay! It means the season will last a bit longer–and we love that, don’t we?

dark. Next. Are Michelle and Nayte still together after The Bachelorette?

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