  • It’s also available the next day on Hulu, or if you don’t mind waiting longer, episodes are available for free on the ABC website about eight days later.
  • If you’re not in the U.S., you can use a VPN to access it. ExpressVPN is the best service for the job, but NordVPN is another top choice.

Dating reality series The Bachelorette is ready with another single lady looking for the right guy to put a ring on it. This season, there are 25 hopeful husbands that bachelorette Charity Lawson can choose from. If you want to join the new Bachelorette on her journey to find love, this guide shares how and where to watch The Bachelorette from anywhere.

Season 20’s Bachelorette is Charity Lawson, a popular contestant from season 27 of The Bachelor with Zach Shallcross. Each episode will see at least one contestant go home and in the end, the Bachelorette has to decide which contestant she wants to try to start a life with.

This guide will not only show you how and where to stream the 20th season of The Bachelorette, but it will also share how you can watch previous seasons. Where you are in the world will depend on if you can access The Bachelorette, though. If you’re blocked from watching it, you can use a top VPN like ExpressVPN to get access. We’ll show you how further down.

Where to Watch The Bachelorette

The Bachelorette may be available on only some particular services, and that service may only be able to let users from certain countries watch it. If that’s the case, the service will implement geoblocks, which basically stop viewers from outside of those countries from accessing the show.

Geoblocks can be implemented on entire streaming services too. For instance, Hulu is only available in the U.S. If you try to access the service outside of the country, you’ll be greeted by an error message.

The way around these blocks is to use a virtual private network (VPN). By connecting to a VPN server in the same country where the content you want is available, you’ll hide your true location. So, let’s say you want to access Netflix U.S., but you’re located in Australia. You simply connect to a U.S. VPN server and your true IP address will be masked by a U.S. IP address.

Which Streaming Services Have The Bachelorette?

The Bachelorette season 20 premieres on Monday, June 26 at 9 p.m. EST on ABC with a two-hour special. New episodes will then be released weekly every Monday.

The ABC channel is only available in the U.S., but if you have a U.S. TV provider subscription, you can also stream The Bachelorette on the ABC website or app. If you’re outside the country, you can use a U.S. VPN server to get access. If you don’t have a TV provider login, ABC shows are typically available for free on the website eight days after they’ve aired.

The ABC channel is also available with live streaming services like fuboTV, YouTube TV and Sling TV. Both YouTube TV and Sling TV are only available in the U.S., whereas fuboTV is available in the U.S., Canada and Spain. However, we have previously signed up for fuboTV outside of those countries with a non-country-specific payment method without a hitch. All you need is the help of a VPN.

Alternatively, you can stream The Bachelorette on Hulu the day after it airs. Once again, Hulu is only available in the U.S., and you do need a U.S. payment method to sign up.

However, a VPN can help and there are ways to sign up for Hulu with a gift card or virtual prepaid card. Hulu also has six previous seasons of The Bachelorette available on-demand — seasons eight, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 18.

New episodes of The Bachelorette will be available the next day on Hulu.

We also found seasons nine and 17 available on both The Roku Channel and Tubi. However, we couldn’t find a way to watch all the previous 19 seasons of The Bachelorette. There seem to be random seasons available with different streaming services around the world, such as seasons 18, 19 and 20 on Hayu in the UK, and season 16 on Binge and season 19 on 9Now in Australia.

Other than that, you can find select seasons available to rent or buy on services like Google Play, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Apple TV and Vudu.

Is The Bachelorette on Netflix?

No, The Bachelorette is not available on Netflix. It is possible that this information may change, and although we try to keep our information up to date, we recommend checking Netflix for yourself every now and then.

How to Access Other Netflix Libraries

The content Netflix shows you will depend on where you’re located. So, if you signed up to Netflix in the U.S. and you’re currently located there, you’ll see the American Netflix library. However, as soon as you travel outside the U.S., that will change. Netflix detects your location by your IP address, so if you travel to France, you’ll be shown the French Netflix library.

This means if you want to look for The Bachelorette in other countries’ Netflix libraries, you can use a VPN to spoof your location. Simply connect to a server in the same country as the Netflix library you want to access and log into your account as usual. Keep in mind that Netflix is pretty good at detecting this and will try to block you. If this happens, switch to a different server and try again.

How to Watch The Bachelorette Online Free

As we already mentioned, new episodes of The Bachelorette will be available on the ABC website for free a little over a week after they’ve aired. If you’re not in the U.S., you can use a VPN to get a U.S. IP address and access it on ABC.

Live streaming services like fuboTV and YouTube TV have a free trial available, so if you want to watch The Bachelorette live, you can sign up and watch it directly on the ABC channel for free. Just keep in mind that the free trial won’t be long enough to watch the whole season.

Hulu is also an option if you have a U.S. payment method because it has a free trial available. That said, even though the trial lasts up to one month, that won’t get you the full season for free. Instead, you could wait until the series has wrapped up and then get a free trial to binge-watch it.

If you’re after previous seasons, a Hulu free trial will help you watch six seasons for free. Plus, both The Roku Channel and Tubi have seasons nine and 17 for free in the U.S., and 9Now in Australia has season 19.

Provided that a VPN is needed to access any of the above services, you can also use a VPN’s money-back guarantee to get a refund when you’ve finished. 

How to Watch The Bachelorette With a VPN

In this section, we’ll show you how to watch The Bachelorette online for free using a VPN. We’ve used ABC’s website for this example, but since this option means waiting for a little over a week after each episode, you might want to watch it elsewhere, such as on the ABC channel with fuboTV. If that’s the case, you can use similar steps to these to get access.

  1. Sign Up for a Good VPN

    Sign up for a VPN such as ExpressVPN, which has a 30-day money-back guarantee.

The Best VPNs for Watching The Bachelorette

To ensure you have a smooth streaming experience, it’s important to choose a VPN with fast speeds, plenty of servers and the ability to bypass geoblocks easily. We’ve got two of the best VPNs for streaming below, so take a look and see which one fits you best.

1. ExpressVPN

Expressvpn usa dallas
ExpressVPN has top speeds, plenty of servers and can get past regional restrictions.

Pros:

  • Fast streaming servers
  • Bypasses geoblocks with ease
  • Servers in 105 countries

Cons:

  • Expensive

ExpressVPN is our go-to service when it comes to streaming. That’s mostly because it’s reliable at getting past geoblocks and unblocking all streaming services. So whether you want to watch The Bachelorette on ABC directly or via a streaming service like Hulu or fuboTV, you’ll have no problem getting access.

On top of that, you’ll benefit from lightning-fast speeds and the use of thousands of servers in more than 100 countries. You’ll also be covered by ExpressVPN’s strong security and no-logs policy. Read more about the service in our ExpressVPN review.

Price-wise, ExpressVPN is on the higher side, but it doesn’t mean you should write it off. You can save around half by opting for the yearly plan and its 30-day money-back guarantee means you can get a refund if you change your mind.

2. NordVPN

NordVPN has the fastest VPN speeds and can easily unblock streaming platforms.

Pros:

  • Affordable long-term plans
  • Fastest international speeds
  • Thousands of servers

Cons:

  • Poor interactive mobile map
  • Server breached in 2018

NordVPN is another great option, especially because it has the fastest speeds on average (see our ongoing speed tests). It can also access streaming services easily and has thousands of servers available in 60 countries for doing so.

It’s a secure VPN with an easy-to-use app that includes an interactive map alongside the usual server list. The map is handy for choosing a location quickly, so long as you know where you need to be on there. However, it doesn’t work quite so well on mobile — you can easily get lost.

Still, NordVPN is a top alternative to ExpressVPN, and its affordable pricing makes it all the more enticing. You do need to sign up for two years to see the best price, but with its 30-day money-back guarantee, you can easily get a refund if you don’t like it. Read our NordVPN review for more information.

The Bachelorette Season 20 Lineup

The Bachelorette is a spin-off from The Bachelor, where a single lady hopes to find “the one” by essentially dating various men over a number of weeks and choosing who stays and goes as the weeks go by. In the end, the Bachelorette chooses which of the men she would like to marry.

In the last season of The Bachelorette, we saw two eligible ladies looking for love — Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey. This season, we’re back to one Bachelorette, Charity Lawson, and 25 men hoping to steal her heart. The show will once again be hosted by Jesse Palmer. Here’s the lineup for season 20 of The Bachelorette.
