A new group of former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants will explore another chance at love as they couple up at a secluded Costa Rican paradise in the latest installment from ABC's Bachelor Nation. From this summer's cast and location change to live broadcast and streaming details, here's everything you need to know about where to watch Bachelor in Paradise Season 10.
Hosted by Jesse Palmer, Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 will have some notable changes from the past decade's worth of outings. This year, rather than taking place in Sayulita, Mexico, the men and women will be competing for roses on the beaches of Costa Rica. Additionally, former Bachelorette Hannah Brown is joining returning bartender Wells Adams in serving drinks to the cast.
Like past seasons, this year's cast begins with 20 contestants from prior seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, including Dale Moss, Hakeem Moulton, Zoe McGrady, and Kat Izzo. However, for the very first time, the Bachelor in Paradise cast will also include former The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette contestants, including April Kirkwood and Gary Levingston.
With original and Golden Bachelor universe contestants at the resort this summer, Bachelor in Paradise's rose ceremonies are bound to increase in intensity. Below, we've provided a breakdown of various strategies for watching Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, including cable broadcasts and live streaming options, as well as how to tune into other shows in the Bachelor franchise.

What channel is Bachelor in Paradise on?
New episodes of Bachelor in Paradise air on ABC every Monday night at 8 p.m. ET. ABC has been the home network for all main TV shows in the Bachelor franchise since the original series debuted in 2002, and Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 is no different.
Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 premieres on July 7 on ABC with a special three-hour-long episode. This month, one new episode will air each Monday night at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. However, Episode 3 (when the Golden Bachelors and Bachelorettes arrive) will air on Tuesday, July 15 at 8 p.m., just one day after Episode 2 drops.
How to watch Bachelor in Paradise in the US
You can watch Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 live on ABC in a few different ways. If you have cable or an antenna, you can simply tune into the new episodes by going to the ABC channel at 8 p.m. ET on Monday nights. For cord-cutters, there are a few options for live streaming packages with access to ABC or on-demand streaming after the broadcast.
The cheapest live streaming choice is Sling TV, which has subscription prices starting at $46 per month. Additionally, new subscribers can get half off their first month at only $23. The Sling Blue option, specifically, includes local networks like ABC in addition to more than 40 other channels in this plan. However, ABC may not be available in every region on Sling Blue's local channel lineup, so it's important to check that the network is available in your market before signing up.
Access 40+ channels for just $23 a month for your first month as a part of a special offer right now on Sling Blue where you can get 50% off. The best part about Sling is that you only pay for what you want and you're not tied to a long-term contract
Another worthy alternative for live streaming Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 is DirecTV Entertainment, which is slightly more expensive than Sling Blue, but comes with even more channels. The service's base Entertainment package starts at $85 per month and comes with 90+ channels, including local options like ABC. New subscribers can get a five-day free trial with this option.
DirecTV's base Signature package, the Entertainment plan, carries 90+ live channels, including local networks and popular cable options like ESPN, CNN, and MTV.
You can also get access to ABC on the live streaming service Fubo. The base Fubo Pro plan includes 150+ channels, with the subscription price starting at $65 for the first month before being bumped up to the standard $85 per month thereafter. Additionally, new subscribers can enjoy a seven-day free trial.
Fubo is the streaming service for sports fans. Its huge library of channels includes regional and international sports leagues, setting it apart from the competition. You can also tack on additional programming to your plan, but it'll cost you extra.
If you miss the live broadcast, new episodes of Bachelor in Paradise can also be streamed the following day on Hulu. Subscription prices for the streaming service start at $10 per month with ads. New and eligible returning users also have access to a 30-day free trial. If you're looking for even more streaming options, you can also try combining Hulu with Disney Plus in one of the Disney Plus bundles, where monthly prices start at just $1 more than stand-alone ad-supported Hulu.
New Bachelor in Paradise episodes will also be available to stream for free with ads on ABC.com one week after they're first broadcast. This option doesn't require any account creation, unless you wish to watch immediately, in which case you'll be prompted to enter your cable or live TV streaming service login credentials. Typically, episodes don't remain on the website long-term, but they should be available while the season airs.
