How to Stream the ‘Bachelor’ Season 25 Premiere

Matt James’s season of The Bachelor is here! The very, very hot 29-year-old is the franchise’s first Black Bachelor, and based on trailers (see one below), we’re in for an incredible season. Catch up on everything you need to know about Matt James here. And after you’ve done that, make sure you’re all set to watch The Bachelor this season. Here’s all the information about where and when to watch the show: 

When does The Bachelor season 25 premiere?

Season 25 of The Bachelor premieres January 4 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

Where will it air?

Check your local listings (read: Google) to find the channel number for your local ABC affiliate, or keep scrolling for streaming options.

How can I watch The Bachelor stream?

You can watch on ABC through ABC.com or the ABC app or a third-party live TV-streaming service, like Hulu With Live TV, YouTubeTV, or your cable provider. Episodes will be available the next day on Hulu, but word to the wise: If you plan on doing that, definitely add some keywords and hashtags to your “muted” list on Twitter. You won’t want spoilers! 

Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, it looks like we’re in for another classic season of tears, kisses, and lots of wine. After almost a year of lockdowns and election madness, we really, really need this low-stakes, high-emotion thrill ride of a show. It truly is the perfect escape (and let’s face it, we still have a lot we’d like distractions from right now). Watch a trailer, below, and click here for more details about the season. 

Fantasy leagues ready? Brackets assembled? Bets placed? The competition for Matt James’s heart is about to begin, and we cannot wait until he gives that first rose. I already have my predictions on who will go the distance.
