The weather isn't the only thing that's about to start heating up. It's not just almost summer time — it's almost Love Island time! The steamy reality series that started in the U.K. has become a global phenomenon, with sexy singles from across the world signing up for a season at the villa. Love Island U.K., the show that started it all, is back with Series 12 — or Season 12 for U.S. fans — next Monday, June 9. But first, Love Island USA will make a splash starting Tuesday, June 3.
Are you ready to dive into the notoriously prolific reality series? There will be new episodes up to six nights a week this summer (seven if you're tuning into both versions of the series), so get ready to start streaming. Here's your ultimate guide on how to watch Love Island in summer 2025.
When does Love Island start?
Love Island kicks off in summer 2025 with the U.S. version first. Love Island USA starts airing Tuesday, June 3 at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock. Series 12 of the original U.K. series will air the following Monday, June 9.
What channel is Love Island on in the U.S.?
Unlike its U.K. counterpart, which is broadcast on ITV2 and streams live on ITVX (and typically on a week-long delay on Hulu for those in the U.S.) Love Island USA streams exclusively on Peacock. You can find all past seasons of the U.S. spinoff also streaming on ITVX in the U.K. (or with the help of a VPN).

What's the difference between Love Island U.K. and Love Island USA?
Love Island USA is a spinoff of the hit U.K. reality show. The main difference — beyond hosts, contestants and the amount of prize money the winning couple is awarded — is which accents you'd like to hear as contestants get their chat on around the bonfire at the villa.
Love Island host 2025:
Vanderpump Rules Star Ariana Madix will return this year to host Love Island USA. In the U.K., Maya Jama is back for Series 12 of Love Island.
How many weeks does Love Island last?
For Love Island USA, new episodes will drop six days a week on Peacock starting June 3. Last season had 36 episodes over a six-week period, and this season is expected to follow the same format. The U.K. series typically lasts eight weeks, but ITV has yet to confirm the exact duration of the show this season.
Where to watch past seasons of Love Island U.K.
You can stream every season of Love Island, Love Island All Stars, Love Island Aftersun, Love Island Games, Love Island Australia and all the Love Island reunions free on ITVX in the U.K. If you're watching from outside of the U.K., you'll need the help of a VPN.

You can also catch all of Love Island USA in the U.K. on ITVX. So if you don't want to pay for Peacock or Hulu, and you definitely want to watch the U.K. series, a VPN plus a free ITVX account may be your best (and cheapest) option.
