Commanders quarterback Sam Hartman will lead Season 30 of “The Bachelor,” premiering in March 2027. The practice-squad player has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game, and filming is planned for the offseason.

By the Numbers
  • 30th season of “The Bachelor” begins in March 2027.
  • Hartman, 27, has played 48 games at Wake Forest and holds the school passing record with 12,967 yards.
  • At Notre Dame in 2023, he threw for 2,689 yards, 24 touchdowns and 8 interceptions.
Yes, But

Hartman joked that talking with 30 women could be a challenge. His reality-TV stint is scheduled for the offseason, so it is not expected to interfere with football.

What's Next

Filming is slated for early 2027, before the show’s March premiere.

Bottom Line

Hartman’s television profile is about to grow, but his NFL career remains at an early stage: He is on Washington’s practice squad and has yet to play in a regular-season game.
