The finale for each season of 'The Bachelor' doesn't always drop on Hulu as quickly as fans expect it to.

Every season of The Bachelor tends to be a wild ride, from drama among the ladies to the leading man's difficult decision in figuring out who to give his final rose to. Then, there's the post-show drama and the questions of whether or not the Bachelor is still with his winner. But what fans always look forward to during each season is the finale, and for those who can't watch it live, they depend on Hulu to stream The Bachelor finale after it airs.
Cord-cutters all over the world are always eager to see who the suitor picks and how he handles his fantasy suite missteps. But because the finale episode doesn't drop on Hulu immediately following its on-air finale, or even right away the very next day, it isn't as easy as normal to keep up with the reality series. So, when is The Bachelor finale on Hulu and how can we watch it now?
When will ‘The Bachelor’ finale be on Hulu?
Typically, The Bachelor streams on Hulu the following day at 5 a.m. EST after each episode airs. However, for both Seasons 27 and 28, Hulu subscribers found that The Bachelor Season finale (the most important episode of the season!) wasn't on the streaming service. So, when does it get there? If we’ve learned anything from the history of ABC and Hulu’s collaboration, it’s that there are times when things don’t go according to plan.
In a perfect world, Hulu would drop The Bachelor finale immediately after it airs on television. Or, at the very least, at midnight a few hours after. But, according to the streaming platform, the plan each season is to simply make the episode available on the Tuesday following The Bachelor finale.
For Season 28 of The Bachelor, viewers found that even the morning after the television event, Hulu hadn't dropped the finale episode. Judging by past finales, it will be available. But not as quickly as most fans expect or hope.
How can we watch ‘The Bachelor’ finale without Hulu?
While some people may only have access to Hulu, some others may be able to sign in to ABC using a cable account. The Bachelor finale is available to stream on ABC's website through either an ABC subscription or with a connected cable provider.
That seems to be the only option to watch The Bachelor finale for the time between when the finale airs live and when it reaches Hulu to stream. Although, between spoilers and memes, we can usually get the gist of what happened from the internet anyway.
