How to Watch Love Island UK in the US and beyond: a global streaming guide

Publish date: 2023-02-20

We're just a little over three weeks in and a lot of explosive drama has already taken place, so if you're feeling left out at the water cooler, you're probably wondering how to watch Love Island UK. This guide covers everything you need to know to stream the iconic reality show from anywhere on Earth. The new islanders landed in Mallorca earlier this month, and we've already seen quite a few singles get kicked off (including one surprising double-dumping) and one contestant who left the villa voluntarily. Suffice to say, things are sure to get even more dramatic (and cringe-y) as we head into week four. 

Fans in the UK are lucky enough to watch the new episodes for free as they air on ITV2, while folks living elsewhere will need to wait until the new season is released on a streaming service or access the ITV Hub through a VPN service like ExpressVPN. New episodes began to be added to Hulu on June 21st, but the slow rollout means that US viewers will be a few weeks behind for the duration of the season. 

The islanders featured this season include the overly confident business owner Davide Sanclimenti, Gemma Owen (the daughter of famous footballer Michael Owen), and — the show's first-ever deaf contestant — model and dancer Tasha Ghouri. Keep reading for a complete look at the lineup, plus more info and links to stream the dating show.
