Where to Watch Love Island: Streaming Guide by Region

Finding which platform carries your favourite Love Island series can feel like a streaming treasure hunt — each version has a different broadcaster, and regional rights shift constantly. Whether you’re after the UK original, the US spin-off, or the Australian edition, the answer changes depending on where you’re sitting.

Number of seasons across all versions: Over 20 (UK, US, Australia, All Stars, Games) ·
Primary streaming platforms: ITVX, Hulu, Netflix, RTE Player, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ ·
Official broadcaster (UK): ITV2 ·
Free options: ITVX (ad-supported), RTE Player (Ireland), YouTube highlights

ITV’s Love Island page states: “Watch Love Island on ITVX” and provides episode links for all available series.

Eight streaming services, five distinct show versions, and a patchwork of regional deals — the key difference comes down to which Love Island franchise you follow and where you live.

The table below lays out which platform holds which content and what it will cost you in your region.

The pattern: the UK original and All Stars live on ITVX and Hulu; the US version is split between Peacock and Netflix depending on season; and Australia is free on 9Now. Ireland gets the best free deal for Love Island Games through RTE Player, but loses easy access to the UK version.

What streaming service is Love Island on?

The answer depends entirely on which version you want to watch. Love Island UK, Love Island USA, Love Island Australia, Love Island All Stars, and Love Island Games each have separate streaming homes, and those homes vary by country.

Is Love Island on Netflix?

Yes — but only Love Island USA is available on Netflix in the United States. The UK version is not on Netflix in any major market. Love Island USA moved to Peacock in 2022, meaning earlier seasons remain on Netflix while new seasons premiere on Peacock.

Is Love Island on Prime or Netflix?

Prime Video carries only season 1 of Love Island UK in the United States, according to Business Insider’s streaming guide. Netflix carries Love Island USA, but not the UK version. So neither service is a complete solution — you’ll need at least two subscriptions to cover both flagship series.

Is Love Island on Disney+?

Disney+ carries Love Island USA in some regions outside the US, though the exact rollout is unclear. The availability varies by territory and no official confirmation from Disney exists for all markets. If you’re outside the US, checking Disney+’s search function directly is the fastest way to verify.

What this means: viewers chasing both UK and US versions face a multi-platform reality. For a UK fan who also wants the US edition, the minimum setup is ITVX plus Peacock or Netflix. For a US fan who wants both, Hulu plus Peacock covers the most ground.

How can I watch Love Island in Ireland?

Irish viewers have one free option and one paid option — but neither offers the full package without a workaround.

Can you watch Love Island on RTE Player?

Yes — RTE Player offers Love Island Games for free in Ireland. TechRadar confirms that TechRadar (tech publication) describes Love Island Games Season 2 as available free on RTE. This is the only Love Island variant available without subscription in Ireland.

TechRadar confirms “How to watch Love Island Games Season 2 on RTE (it’s free)” — the service requires no payment, though a free account may be needed.

How to watch Love Island Games Season 2 on RTE?

You can stream Love Island Games Season 2 directly through the RTE Player website or app. No payment is required, though you may need to create a free account. For Love Island UK, Irish viewers typically use ITVX with a VPN, which Business Insider notes is possible but subject to each platform’s terms of service.

1. Go to the RTE Player website or open the mobile app.
2. Create a free RTE account if you do not already have one.
3. Search for “Love Island Games” in the platform’s library.
4. Select Season 2 and press play — no payment information required.
5. For Love Island UK access, subscribe to ITVX and activate a VPN set to a UK server.

• RTE Player: Love Island Games (free, no subscription needed)
• ITVX via VPN: Love Island UK, All Stars (requires ITVX subscription and VPN service)
• 9Now via VPN: Love Island Australia (free, requires VPN)

The trade-off: Ireland gets one Love Island spinoff for free but loses direct access to the main UK series. For dedicated fans, a VPN subscription becomes an additional cost on top of ITVX.

Where can I watch Love Island all seasons?

No single platform carries every season of every Love Island franchise. The most complete archive belongs to the UK original on ITVX, which Business Insider (streaming guide) says includes series 1 through 12. Hulu’s Love Island UK page lists 12 seasons and 675 episodes available in the United States.

Where to watch Love Island season 1?

Love Island UK season 1 is available on ITVX in the UK and on Prime Video in the US. Prime Video only carries season 1, so US viewers who want later seasons need Hulu.

Where to watch Love Island season 3?

Love Island UK season 3 is available on ITVX (UK) and Hulu (US). In Australia, Business Insider (streaming guide) reports that 9Now has seasons 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 of Love Island UK — meaning season 3 is not available on 9Now. Australian viewers would need a VPN to access ITVX or Hulu for earlier seasons.

The implication: the further back you go, the harder it gets. Season 1 is the easiest to find across multiple regions; mid-series seasons (especially outside the UK and US) are patchy.

Where can I watch Love Island now?

Current seasons have clearer homes than back catalogues. Here is where each active franchise is currently airing or available.

Where to watch Love Island tonight?

If a new Love Island UK season is airing, it broadcasts live on ITV2 at 9 pm UK time and streams simultaneously on ITVX. In the US, Hulu typically uploads episodes a few days after the UK broadcast. Current Love Island USA seasons premiere on Peacock — Peacock (official streaming home) states a new season premieres on 2026-06-02.

Where to watch Love Island UK 2026?

Love Island UK series 13 is scheduled to begin on 2026-06-01, according to Business Insider (streaming guide). It will air on ITV2 and stream on ITVX in the UK. US viewers can expect it on Hulu shortly after each episode airs.

The pattern: current seasons are easy to find. The split happens when you want to catch up on older material, where availability becomes region-dependent and platform-exclusive.

How to watch Love Island All-Stars and other spin-offs?

Spin-offs follow the same platform logic as their parent series — All Stars sits with ITVX and Hulu, while Love Island Games has an exclusive home on RTE Player in Ireland.

Where to watch Love Island All Stars?

Love Island All Stars is available on ITVX in the UK and on Hulu in the United States. It follows the same distribution pattern as the main Love Island UK series, making it straightforward for existing subscribers to both platforms.

How to watch Love Island Games on RTE?

Love Island Games streams on RTE Player in Ireland for free. This is notable because it is the only Love Island spinoff available without a subscription in any European market. For viewers outside Ireland, accessing Love Island Games typically requires a VPN set to an Irish server.

• Love Island All Stars: ITVX (UK), Hulu (US)
• Love Island Games: RTE Player (Ireland, free)
• Peacock: may carry spin-offs in the US, though platform listings shift

The takeaway: spin-offs mirror their parent series’ platforms. If you already pay for ITVX or Hulu, All Stars is included. Love Island Games is a free bonus for Irish viewers but a VPN gambit for everyone else.

Confirmed facts and what’s unclear

Some things about Love Island streaming are settled. Others — particularly around future spin-off rights and Disney+ availability — remain open questions.

The pattern: the platform map is largely settled for the main franchises but gets hazier for spin-offs and secondary distributors like Disney+.

For viewers specifically interested in the original series, a detailed guide on streaming Love Island UK breaks down the best platforms and regional options.

Frequently asked questions

For Irish viewers looking for the best free option, RTE Player’s Love Island Games offering is unmatched in Europe. British viewers get the broadest access through ITVX, while US fans face the highest total cost: Hulu for the UK version plus Peacock or Netflix for the US one. The streaming rights landscape means no single subscription covers everything — but knowing which platforms carry which franchise in your region turns the treasure hunt into a straightforward choice.
