Keeping up with The Bachelor without a traditional cable setup has never been easier, but what time do new episodes arrive on Hulu? The streaming service allows viewers to watch the series — along with many, many others — without having an old-fashioned TV setup, but the exact time you can watch the latest Bachelor drama actually depends on what version of Hulu you have.

In recent years, Hulu has introduced a deluxe service, Hulu + Live TV, which is exactly what it sounds like: Hulu's streaming library, plus the ability to "tune in" to live TV on certain partnered channels. If you have this service, you can watch episodes of The Bachelor live as they air on regular TV or on demand at your convenience. Currently priced at $61 per month, the subscription is one of the popular cord-cutting services, since it doesn't require subscribers to wait weeks or months for seasons of licensed shows to show up; instead, they can simply tune in as if they're just watching ABC the "normal" way.

If you don't have Hulu + Live TV and just have the standard streaming version of Hulu, you have to wait just a little bit longer to catch each episode of The Bachelor — but it's still not a long wait! Every episode arrives on Hulu the morning after it airs on ABC, usually becoming available by no later than 9 a.m. ET on the Tuesday following its primetime airing. The only catch with Hulu's airing of The Bachelor? You can only watch the current season, not past seasons. Randomly, though, Netflix has a single season of The Bachelor available to stream: the 2009 season featuring Jason Mesnick, whose season was one of the more infamous iterations, thanks to its surprise twist ending. For now, though, you can keep up with Peter Weber's season on Hulu, with multiple options available to suit your preferences.

For those looking to catch up on the Season 26 finale of The Bachelor, have no fear — the episode is currently streaming on Hulu!

Following its primetime airing on ABC on Monday, March 14, the finale arrived on the streaming service during the early morning of Tuesday, March 15. So, what are you waiting for — go stream the finale now! That way, you are caught up in time for the highly-anticipated "After the Final Rose" segment.

What can viewers expect from "After the Finale Rose"?

Although Reality Steve, our favorite gossip blogger, has most of the details regarding Clayton's epic conclusion as the Bachelor, there are still plenty of questions we hope to have answered by the end of "After the Final Rose":

  • Does Clayton end up with anyone at the end of his journey? Or does he leave Iceland as a single man?
  • What will happen when Clayton returns to face the three women he fell in love with?

Plus, according to a Redditor in the Bachelor subreddit, the synopsis for "After the Final Rose" has an update that promises "an exciting surprise announcement that no one will see coming."

What could this be? Perhaps the franchise is announcing its next Bachelorette?

While this is pure speculation, maybe the new Bachelorette will get the chance to meet five of her suitors, as Hannah Brown did during the "After the Final Rose" special for Season 23 of The Bachelor.

Make sure to tune in to the epic conclusion of Season 26 of The Bachelor on March 15 at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.

Is The Bachelor no longer on Hulu?

* In addition to Hulu's entire streaming library, Hulu + Live TV subscribers gain access to 75+ live channels, including ABC. All Hulu subscribers can also access select past seasons of The Bachelorette, The Bachelor, and Bachelor in Paradise to relive the franchise's juiciest moments.

What time does the new Bachelor episode come on Hulu?

Like The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise episodes are expected to hit the platform at 12:00 a.m. ET.

How do you watch The Bachelor after it airs?

Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+

Why can't I watch Bachelor in Paradise on Hulu?

Fans can also watch Bachelor in Paradise on Hulu, as the show is available to stream free with a subscription to the platform (use ExpressVPN to stream Hulu from outside of the U.S.).
