How to Watch Love Island UK in the US and beyond: streaming guide, contestants, and more

Whether you watch Love Island UK “ironically” or binge it with bated breath, the point is that you want to watch it, and we’re here to tell you how. The islanders settled into the Spanish villa earlier this week, and the drama is already ramping up with contestants scheming to find love, win cash, or simply just tell millions of viewers how attractive they think they are. Eleven islanders became thirteen on day three, when bombshells Ekin-Su and Afia joined the lineup to unleash some good old-fashioned havoc in the villa. What will happen next? Only time will tell. Keep reading to learn how you can watch the eighth season from wherever you are, plus we’ll take a quick look at the remaining contestants.  

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 in their country. If you’re a UK citizen who’s travelling when the episodes drop, you can also access the ITV Hub through a VPN service like ExpressVPN. New episodes air every weeknight and Sundays, with Saturday nights being dedicated to unseen footage from previous episodes.
