Fans of the show will get to see exactly how drama-filled Crawley’s run on the show is when the first episode of The Bachelorette Season 16 premieres.
When does The Bachelorette 2020 start?
Season 16 is set to start of Tuesday, October 13, in a two-hour-long premiere airing on ABC from 8 p.m. until 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. CT. In that premiere, called by the network, “the most dramatic premiere – ever,” Crawley will meet the 31 suitors vying for her affections this year.
Episodes will then air on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT on ABC. All seasons since 2008 have had between 11 and 13 episodes, which means that Season 16 is likely to air until the end of December 2020 or possibly the start of January 2021.
