Why Isn't 'The Bachelor' Finale On Hulu?

With a truly “unprecedented” ending, a history-making Bachelorette announcement, and a sneak peak at 9-1-1‘s upcoming crossover episode, The Bachelor Season 28’s live three-hour finale event was one for the books.

Usually, episodes of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, and The Golden Bachelor appear on Hulu bright an early the day after they air live on ABC. But if fans hop on Hulu hoping to catch up on Joey Graziadei’s emotional final episode early on Tuesday morning, they’ll be sad to learn the episode isn’t uploaded yet.

Wondering if Joey’s finale and After The Final Rose episode will be available to stream on Hulu today, Tuesday, March 26? And if so, what time you can watch The Bachelor finale on Hulu?

Here’s everything we know.

No spoilers here, but if you’re tired of waiting for the finale episode to stream on Hulu and are eager for a play-by-play of Joey Graziadei’s final dates with Daisy Kent and Kelsey Anderson — followed by After The Final Rose revelations — be sure to read Decider’s Bachelor Season 28 finale recap.

Yes! Fear not, Bachelor Nation. If you checked Hulu this morning and didn’t see the episode, ABC assured fans that it will be added to the platform at some point today, just like all the other episodes this Bachelor season.

So why isn’t it on Hulu yet? Though weekly episodes of Bachelor franchise shows are promptly uploaded to Hulu, finales appear to take longer to stream — likely because the episodes are filmed live, or perhaps ABC is just trying to keep the drama alive a little bit longer!

Fans who tried to stream The Golden Bachelor finale on Hulu the morning after it aired in December 2023 or The Bachelorette‘s Season 20 finale back in August 2023 were also left waiting for several hours, but eventually the episode appeared! And all was right in Bachelor Nation!

As of 7:20 a.m. ET, The Bachelor Season 28 finale had yet to appear on Hulu, but we’ll update this post once we know more. With The Golden Bachelor finale, the episode was uploaded and available to stream before 1:00 p.m. ET, but it’s possible every season varies.

Until then, rest assured the episode is scheduled to be added to the platform at some point today (March 26). In the mean time, Decider’s Bachelor coverage has all the updates you crave.
