A new Bachelor is on the scene for the 29th season of ABC's hit reality dating series, and tonight he gives away his final rose. We've put together everything you need to know about where to watch The Bachelor, including live, on-demand, and free options.

Grant Ellis returns to The Bachelor franchise after viewers first met him in Season 21 of The Bachelorette over the summer. He was sent home prior to the hometown dates, but not before first falling for Bachelorette Jenn Tran. In his own season of The Bachelor, Ellis has been looking for love by getting to know 25 women. Over the past several weeks, viewers have watched as the contestants were whittled down to two final women. Tonight, fans will get to see the epic conclusion in a three-hour-long special featuring the Finale and After the Final Rose.

Below, we've highlighted all of the ways you can tune into the new season of The Bachelor, including cord-cutting options for those without cable. Past seasons of The Bachelor can be hard to find on-demand after the season finishes, so we recommend watching the show the same year it airs.

Where to watch The Bachelor online

Where to watch The Bachelor in the US

The Bachelor airs on ABC in the US. ABC doesn't have any one streaming service that specifically streams the channel (like CBS on Paramount Plus or NBC on Peacock), but you can still live stream the series with the help of a live TV streaming package like Sling TV, DirecTV Stream, or Fubo. All three streaming services carry tons of live channels and have month-to-month offerings.

Sling TV is the cheapest of the bunch, with monthly subscriptions starting at $46 a month. Bachelor fans will need to opt for Sling Blue, which carries 40+ channels. Sling's local channel coverage, which includes networks like ABC, varies from region to region, so you should see what's available in your zip code before signing up. Right now, new customers can get half off their first month of service as part of the service's introductory offer. You can also live stream other popular channels like CNN, TNT, and AMC.

If ABC isn't available in Sling in your area, or you're looking for a live TV streaming service with even more channel options, DirecTV Stream is one of the best cable alternatives out there. The streaming service offers 90+ live channels (but often much more) in its base Entertainment lineup, including pretty much everything you'd find in a standard cable package. Subscriptions start at $87/month, but you can get a five-day free trial.

Fubo is another popular option. The streamer carries ABC and at least 150+ live channels in its base Essential plan, which costs $85 a month. New users can get a seven-day free trial and up to $25 off their first month of service.

New episodes of The Bachelor will be available to stream on-demand on Hulu the following day. Subscriptions cost $10 a month and come with a 30-day free trial. Hulu is also the home of select on-demand past seasons of The Bachelor, including seasons 24, 25, and 26.

If you don't mind waiting a week, new episodes from the Bachelor franchise land on ABC.com exactly one week after they air. This is a free streaming option in the USA that requires no account creation to use. You just need to go to the ABC website, and you're all set to start streaming.

How to watch The Bachelor from anywhere

If you're traveling abroad and hoping to keep up with the show, you can still access your usual streaming options with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are easy-to-use cybersecurity tools that enable you to change your device's virtual location. This way, you can access all of your go-to websites and apps from anywhere.

ExpressVPN is our go-to recommendation. It's one of the best options we've tested and comes with a wealth of security perks, which we break down in our ExpressVPN review. Plus, the app has a 30-day money-back guarantee.

How to watch The Bachelor with a VPN

• Sign up for a VPN if you don't already have one.
• Install it on the device you're using to watch.
• Turn it on and set it to a US location.
• Go to one of the above streaming websites (and create an account with a US payment method if necessary).
• Enjoy the show!
