Love is in the air and on our TV screens. Summer has faded, and fall has set in, which means it’s time to grab a blanket, get cozy, and watch endless hours of reality dating shows. Lucky for us, the fall line-up is stacked. Fans will have to wait a bit longer for series like The Ultimatum: Marry or Move on and Temptation Island, but thankfully, there are many drama-filled series currently airing.
These are the best dating shows airing right now?
Long gone are the days when The Bachelor cornered the market on dating shows. The genre is overflowing in 2025 with new dating shows sprouting every year. Our brains can hardly keep up with the amount of content. If you need help sorting out which dating shows are worth watching this month, don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.
Here are the best dating shows airing in September 2025.
The Golden Bachelor
Season 2 of The Golden Bachelor kicked off on Wednesday, September 24. Former NFL player Mel Owens, 66, welcomed 23 women into the Bachelor mansion and began his journey to find his bride. Mel began his season in an unconventional way. He started the night by apologizing for comments he made on a podcast before the premiere. While a guest on the MGoBlue Podcast, Mel expressed his preference for dating women younger than him, telling the hosts he is interested in women between the ages of 45 and 60. His comments caused controversy with many fans questioning why Mel wouldn’t date a woman closer to his age. The ABC star addressed the controversial comment in the premiere, reassuring the women that age is nothing but a number to him.
90 Day Fiance: The Other Way
Season 7 of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way is currently airing on TLC. The spinoff is essentially what the title suggests. The show follows Americans who leave behind their lives in the States and move to their partner’s country. The current season follows six couples from around the world.
Love Island Games
Summer is over, but Love Island persists. If you aren’t suffering from a bout of Love Island fatigue after spending 32 days with the Season 7 Islanders, you can enjoy more content by tuning in to Season 2 of Love Island Games, which is currently airing on Peacock. The spinoff brings together fan favorites and villains to compete in challenges and find love. The Season 2 cast is an interesting mix of characters. Among them are controversial Season 6 star Andrea Carmona, Casa Amor star Chris Seeley, and Season 4 fan favorite Isaiah Campbell. Love Island Games is fun, flirty, and the perfect treat after a long day.
90 Day Diaries
If one 90 Day series isn’t enough for you, don’t worry, another one is coming. 90 Day Diaries is returning in September 2025. The new season premieres on TLC on Friday, September 26. The show provides a more intimate look at the lives of 90 Day Fiance couples. It allows fans to keep up with the lives of couples from previous seasons. New episodes are released weekly on Fridays.
Love Is Blind: France
Love Is Blind: France is streaming on Netflix in September 2025. Episodes 1-9 are currently available to watch, but fans have to wait a bit for the reunion, which will be released on Wednesday, October 1. The spinoff is hosted by an iconic French couple, Heavyweight legend Teddy Riner and his wife Luthna Plocus. They are basically the French version of Vanessa and Nick Lachey. After watching Love Is Blind: France, I can confirm the rumors are true-the French are better at love than Americans.
Love Is Blind US
Ok, technically, Love Is Blind US Season 9 isn’t currently airing, but it comes out on October 1, so it’s worth including. The new season will feature singles from Denver, Colorado, on their quest to find love sight-unseen. After the premiere, new episodes will be released weekly on Wednesdays. A press release for the upcoming season teased that fans can expect a few “fiery spirits” and “social butterflies” among the cast. The cast ages range from 27 to 41 years old. As for the professions of the cast, the press release revealed there are ” a couple nurses, a few professionals in the real estate game, and a handful of hairstylists” in the cast. The release also teased a few nature lovers, which makes sense for a Colorado-based season. Love Is Blind is available to stream on Netflix.
Love Island Games is available to stream on Peacock.
