'Love Is Blind' Season 9: Everything We Know
Netflix's hit reality dating series will head to Denver, Colorado for its next installment.
Netflix's reality TV show Love Is Blind celebrated its fifth year of miscommunication, controversial red flags, and the occasional meant-to-be couple. The ultimate guilty-pleasure show completed its Minneapolis-based eighth season on March 9, 2025, concluding a season that ended up as a bit of a dud, with offscreen social-media drama overshadowing the one Christmas-loving couple, Taylor and Daniel, who ended the season as newlyweds.
In what is becoming a tradition for the show, Love Is Blind concluded one season by teasing the next (despite facing a handful of mounting lawsuits). Below, we're keeping track of everything we learn about Love Is Blind season 9.
Has 'Love Is Blind' been renewed for season 9?
Love Is Blind isn't going anywhere. In January 2025, Netflix announced that its reality juggernaut had been renewed for seasons 9 and 10. The news broke a month before season 8's airing and the fifth anniversary of the series's premiere in 2020 (which now feels like lifetimes ago).

When will 'Love Is Blind' season 9 come out?
Get ready for cuffing season. In mid-July, Netflix confirmed that Love Is Blind season 9 will premiere on Wednesday, October 1. This follows the franchise's established yearly release schedule of a season typically airing in February or March, followed by another in September or October. (Not to mention Perfect Match each summer. And the many international versions like Love Is Blind: Sweden, which begins its second season four days after the season 8 finale.)
Love Is Blind typically releases in batches, so you'll need to carve out viewing time for most Wednesdays in October. Here is when each episode is dropping:
Week 1 (Wednesday, Oct 1): Episodes 16
Week 2 (Wednesday, Oct. 8): Episodes 79
Week 3 (Wednesday, Oct. 15): Episodes 1011
Week 4 (Wednesday, Oct. 22): Episode 12

Where will 'Love Is Blind' season 9 be set?
Love Is Blind is headed to the Rocky Mountains. During the season 8 finale, hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey revealed that LIB season 9 will be set in Denver, Colorado. The show enlisted two NFL players to signify the pass off between seasons, with Minnesota Vikings player Josh Metellus virtually passing a ball to the Denver Broncos player Alex Singleton.
For those who have been keeping track of the show's production, Denver was one of the cities mentioned in the same LIB casting call as Washington, D.C. (the eventual seventh season) and Minneapolis/St. Paul (season 8). In March 2024, Axios Denver reported that several golden goblets were sighted in a popular local eatery. With this report in mind, the new season will likely arrive around a year and a half after filming.
For fans interested in seeing where Love Is Blind may go next, several additional casting notices have already been shared. There have been calls for Atlanta, Georgia (apparently getting a round two after being featured in season 1), Columbus, Ohio, Miami, Florida, and the New England area on multiple occasions. Notices for Tampa, Florida, Detroit, Michigan, and Nashville, Tennessee have also been shared. We'll have to see which secures season 10—but for now, reality fans can at least anticipate Denver's season 9 soon.
Who is in the 'Love Is Blind' season 9 cast?
A few weeks before the season 9 premiere, Netflix unveiled its new Pod Squad. 32 singles from the Denver area, between the ages of 27 and 41, are looking for love in the forthcoming installment. As one might expect of people hailing from Colorado, many of them love enjoying the outdoors and playing/watching sports. There are also a few concert fiends and people who love traveling. The cast also includes one single father, a luxury watch dealer, a couple of hairstylists and medical professionals, including a former "COVID crisis nurse," among other professions.
You can read about the entire group on Tudum ahead of the Oct. 1 premiere date, and start fantasizing about who might make a good match.
Is there a trailer for 'Love Is Blind' Season 9?
You bet! Netflix shared the official trailer for Love Is Blind season 9 on Monday, September 15, two weeks before the premiere date. It's got everything you would expect from another season of the reality hit: seemingly kismet connections in the pods, as well as a love triangle, and lots of tension starting as soon as on vacation and leading up to the wedding day. There's talk of really wanting to get engaged ("I want to get engaged in a week. Like, I'm getting married"), hopes of having children, vasectomies, and, somewhat unlike the show, contestants's discussions about what they look like and their physical types before they're supposed to ("I wouldn't have given him a chance in the outside world"). As for the drama you can expect, it appears one man says, "I love you," to two women, several people leave early, and arguments abound. You can turn into all of that and surely more very soon.
