It feels like a universal truth that, at any given time, there will be a series of Love Island being broadcast somewhere in the world. With so many versions out there and such an unlimited supply of singletons to match up, it can be hard for fans of the show to keep up! That’s why we’ve created this comprehensive guide on where to watch Love Island, no matter where you are.
Since it first hit UK airwaves two decades ago, Love island has grown into an international television behemoth with versions in more than 20 countries spanning the world — all the way from Norway to New Zealand — and it doesn’t show any signs of slowing down, with the likes of Albania, Israel, and Romania recently jumping on the bandwagon and a plethora of spinoff shows launched such as Love Island Games, All Stars, and Beyond the Villa.
Regardless of which iteration you watch, the format is generally the same across the franchise. A bevy of bronzed, beautiful beings head to a paradise villa hoping to find their person… or, failing that, a legion of new social media followers and the jackpot prize. After plenty of sexy shenanigans and the arrival of bombshells to shake things up, the finale sees one golden couple pronounced winners as they embark on their happily-ever-after.
This guide explains in detail where to watch Love Island USA, UK, and Australia (and the top spin-offs) in English-speaking parts of the world, including which streaming services show each one for free. And if you’re away on vacation or business and still need your Love Island fix, we have advice on how you can make sure you never miss a dumping!

Where to watch Love Island for free
Love Island isn’t generally locked behind a paywall. For example, Love Island UK and Love Island Australia go out on ITV/ITVX and Nine/9Now, respectively. Even Love Island USA goes out for free in some countries, with CTV in Canada streaming episodes online the day after they premiere south of the border.
How to watch Love Island from anywhere
If Love Island tends to become part of your daily routine when a new season starts, your TV obsession will become disrupted when an overseas trip crops up halfway through a run and you find that your usual stream is blocked. But the days of resorting to reading episode recaps to keep abreast are, thankfully, a thing of the past. That’s because you can use a VPN (virtual private network) to get around the geo-restrictions.
VPNs — like the market-leading NordVPN — work by giving your smartphone, laptop, or other streaming device an IP address in a different country altogether; in this case, your home country, where you normally stream Love Island. As you’ll see in our NordVPN review, the provider offers a selection of tough cybersecurity tools, fast connection speeds, is easy to use, and has an unmatched reputation for unblocking services from abroad. Plus, if you’re a little unsure about it, you can give NordVPN a try without any risk thanks to its no-quibble 30-day money-back guarantee.
NordVPN Plan
NordVPN is one of the top VPN services in the business. It offers excellent value with a strong selection of features and a low monthly price. A wide selection of international servers, high-end security, fast connections, and audited privacy protection have made the brand a household name in the world of VPNs.

Where to watch Love Island spin-offs
Still can’t get enough action from the villa? That’s where Love Island’s spinoff shows can plug the gap. Look out for the following:
Love Island All Stars
Inviting back familiar contestants from past series around the world, Love Island All Stars is presented by British host Maya Jama and has so far seen two seasons. It goes out for free on ITVX and 9Now in the UK and Australia, with Peacock holding the rights in the US.
Love Island Games
Love Island Games is a more playful show than the OG, with more old Islanders returning to enjoy some weeks in paradise and competing in a parade of physical and mental games to try to be crowned winners. Much like Love Island USA (see above), Ariana Madix is now on hosting duties, and season 2 went out originally on Peacock and CTV/Crave. Brits and Aussies have to wait for this one before episodes land on ITVX and 9Now.
Love Island Beyond the Villa
In 2025, Peacock launched a sister show called Beyond the Villa that caught up with the Love Island season 6 contestants to see how their relationships and lives had progressed since they left the villa. Episodes are available to stream for free on CTV in Canada and 9Now in Australia.
