How to watch The Bachelorette online

The Bachelorette season 20 will premiere on Monday, June 26, at 9 PM ET (6 PM PT) on ABC. Once again, another bachelorette will look for love among a pool of contenders. Unfortunately, The Bachelorette season 20 isn’t available for streaming everywhere. That means, you’ll  need a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to watch it from abroad.

Note that in this post, we’re only recommending official sources for watching The Bachelorette season 20. While there will be some unauthorized streams, it’s important to know that they’re usually low resolution with excessive amounts of lag and buffering. Worse still, many will be taken offline for copyright violation. If you don’t want to risk missing out on The Bachelorette season 20, we recommend you stick with the official sources listed.

The Bachelorette season 20 is only available on region-locked platforms. To continue watching on home streaming services while abroad, you’ll need to connect to a VPN.

How to watch The Bachelorette season 20 with a VPN

Want to know how a VPN lets you watch The Bachelorette season 20 from anywhere? When you connect to a VPN server, you receive a new, temporary IP address. This allows you to spoof your location. For this reason, many people use VPNs to access geo-blocked websites and services.

Here’s how to watch The Bachelorette season 20 online from anywhere:

  1. Sign up with a VPN provider. We recommend NordVPN. However, Surfshark and ExpressVPN also offer consistent unblocking ability as well as good value for money.
  2. Next, you’ll need to download and install one of the apps offered by the VPN service. The above VPNs provide a variety of apps as well as browser extensions.
  3. Open the VPN app (or browser extension) before connecting to a server in the United States. You’ll then have a US IP address capable of unblocking ABC from abroad.
  4. Go to ABC via the website or app and sign in to your TV provider. You’ll then be able to watch full episodes of The Bachelorette and live stream season 20.
  5. Is the content still blocked? You may need to clear your browser’s cache and cookies. Otherwise, we recommend you connect to another server.

WANT TO TRY THE TOP VPN RISK FREE?

NordVPN is offering a fully-featured risk-free 30-day trial if you sign up at this page. You can use the VPN rated #1 for the Bachelorette with no restrictions for a month—great if you want to stream the latest episodes while traveling abroad. 

There are no hidden terms—just contact support within 30 days if you decide NordVPN isn't right for you and you'll get a full refund. Start your NordVPN trial here.

How to watch The Bachelorette season 20 on US TV

Watch The Bachelorette USA

Fans will be able to stream The Bachelorette season 20 for free online, provided they have a cable plan that includes ABC. Just visit the network’s website and sign in with your provider details. New episodes will be available on-demand too, so don’t worry if you miss one.

Don’t have cable? No problem: you can always sign up for one of the over-the-top services that carries ABC. These include FuboTV (USD $74.99/month), Hulu with Live TV  ($69.99/month), and YouTube TV ($72.99/month). Some of these include free trials, allowing you to watch The Bachelorette season 20 for free, providing you cancel before the conclusion of the free trial.

Note that ABC and streaming services such as Hulu and YouTube TV are region-locked and only available in the US. This means that you’ll need to use a VPN and connect to a server in the US if you’re traveling abroad. NordVPN allows you to get a US IP address and even includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. As such, you can try it out with ABC risk-free and, if at all unsatisfied, request a full refund within the 30-day period.

Where else can I watch The Bachelorette?

While The Bachelorette season 20 is primarily broadcast on ABC, new episodes arrive on Hulu a day later (every Tuesday).

A Hulu streaming plan costs $7.99/month (ads) or $14.99/month (no ads). This makes Hulu the cheapest way to stream The Bachelorette online (as long as you don’t mind waiting an extra day). When it comes to watching previous seasons of the show, you’ll find seasons 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 18 on Hulu. It also has past seasons of The Bachelor as well as Bachelor in Paradise.

Most seasons are available to purchase on Amazon Prime Video. An entire season costs anything from $13.99 to $19.99 (USD) while individual episodes range from $1.99 to $2.99. Again, a VPN is required in order to watch from abroad.
