Prior to the two-hour premiere, Lifetime will also air a Season 9 Matchmaking Special at 8PM ET/PT.
Similar to prior seasons, Married at First Sight's ninth season will feature strangers meeting at the wedding altar and then spending the next eight weeks embarking on a honeymoon, moving in together, and then navigating the joys and struggles of daily life together.
End the end of the eight-week experiment, Married at First Sight's four Season 9 couples will reach "Decision Day" and have to decide whether to remain married or decide to end their marriages and divorce.
