It was in August 2023 when Joey Grazidei was named the next leading man in The Bachelor season 28. The tennis coach, who rose to fame for his stint in The Bachelorette season 20, is now gearing up to find his forever love in the upcoming season. Notably, the premiere date of the dating reality television show is fast approaching. The Bachelor season 28 is all set to air on Monday, January 22, 2024, at 8 pm ET.
Taking the lead, Grazidei will be seen making romantic connections once again with the prospect of hopefully meeting his everlasting love as the next Bachelor. Fans know that the tennis pro from Pennsylvania made it to the final two of the Charity Lawson-led Bachelorette season 20. Unfortunately, he was dumped in the finale, suffering heartbreak as Lawson went ahead to accept Dotun Olubeko’s proposal.
It was host Jesse Palmer who initially announced Joey’s opportunity to redeem love, thereby leaving the Bach nation excited.

What can fans expect from The Bachelor season 28?
The first glimpse of the upcoming season was released publicly during the finale of The Golden Bachelor. The ABC’s teaser clip began with fans getting introduced to ‘Joey mania’ as women in large numbers flock to meet the youngster in the opening scene. The tennis pro, in multiple snippets, embarks on the journey of finding true love with dramatic scenes of women fighting.
“I'm just a normal guy that was looking to find my person. I want to let go, I want to be fully in it and I'm trying, but I'm finding myself holding back. Last time it got taken away, I don't want to feel like that again.”
