'Bachelor in Paradise' Season 7 Release Schedule: When Episodes Will Air

ABC is now airing its latest season of Bachelor in Paradise, which is proving one of the show's hottest outings so far.

The first two episodes have already seen the most first-night kisses of any season so far, plus a shock self-elimination. With all this and plenty more controversial Bachelor Nation figures set to enter the competition soon, fans of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette will not want to miss a single episode.

Here's when viewers will be able to watch the two episodes per week of BiP's latest season.

When episodes of Bachelor in Paradise will air

This year, fans will get two installments of beach-bound romance a week—one on Monday and one on Tuesday.

Both of these will air in the same timeslot: 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT on ABC.

Though ABC has not revealed exactly when the show is set to run until, there is a hard date that the show has to end by. On October 19, The Bachelorette season 17 kicks off, with Michelle Young choosing between 30 new suitors (many of whom are bound to find themselves on Bachelor in Paradise in the coming years.)

Most likely, however, episodes will run until late September. Last season had 13 episodes, when also aired twice weekly on ABC and ran from August 5 to September 17. Season 7 started slightly later (August 16), but if it has a 13-episode order it should still finish in September.

Season 7, however, could run into October. Since season 4, the show has run longer every year. Katie Thurston's Bachelorette season also ran straight into Bachelor in Paradise, which might suggest that BiP will run straight into Michelle's season.
