Bachelor in Paradise Season 9: Here’s all you may want to know about show’s timings, schedule and more

If you tuned in on Monday night for Bachelor in Paradise season 9 and found something else on your screen, you're not alone. The fall 2023 TV line-up has seen changes due to the writers' and actors' strikes, along with sports events.

Starting from September 28, 2023, Bachelor in Paradise season 9 episodes will drop every Thursday night. They kick off around 9:00 p.m. ET and wrap up by 11:00 p.m. ET on ABC.

If you're a fan who catches up on Hulu, expect the latest episodes to land every Friday. Cable's ON-Demand service should follow a similar pattern, but do check your provider for specific timings.


As much as we miss our Monday night Bachelor ritual, ABC is devoted to Monday Night Football, and the NFL season doesn't conclude until February 2024 with the Super Bowl. Bachelor in Paradise usually has around 16 episodes per season, which means it'll be running until just before February 2024. So, for now, Thursday nights are where it's at, unless there's a surprise schedule twist.
