How to Stream Love Island from Anywhere: A Guide for US Viewers

If the gloomy January weather is bringing you down, here’s some exciting news to lift your spirits. Love Island UK is back with a brand new season of All Stars starting tonight. The show was delayed due to wildfires in South Africa where it is filmed, but it is now confirmed to return tonight.

Whether you’re looking forward to watching the new season or catching up on past seasons to learn more about the returning contestants, continue reading for a step-by-step guide on how to watch it from overseas – similar to how you can access BBC iPlayer abroad or watch American channels like The CW and Netflix US.

What is Love Island All Stars?

Love Island has expanded to various countries including Australia, the USA, Poland, Sweden, and more. However, this article focuses on Love Island UK. This version of the show predominantly features contestants from the UK and airs on ITV.

Within the UK, there are two distinct Love Island series – one in the summer and one in the winter.

The main show typically begins in early June and runs for approximately eight weeks.

To keep fans engaged, there is also a winter edition of the show called Love Island All Stars. The upcoming season will be Love Island All Stars 3, following the success of the first two seasons.

As the name suggests, Love Island All Stars showcases contestants who have previously appeared on the show.

Just like the previous seasons, the show will be filmed in South Africa, with Maya Jama returning as the host.

If you want to catch up on the first two seasons of All Stars, you can watch them on ITVX. Detailed instructions for international viewers are provided below.

When will the next season of Love Island All Stars air?

Love Island is scheduled to make its comeback on 15th January 2026 at 9pm. The show airs daily, except on Saturdays when a recap of the week’s highlights is shown. However, due to the delay caused by fires in the area, a new episode will air on Saturday 17th January instead of the usual clips.

Which contestants will appear?

The initial lineup of contestants has been revealed. There are 12 confirmed cast members who will be featured in the season premiere:

• Millie Court
• Whitney Adebayo
• Jess Harding
• Belle Hassan
• Ciaran Davies
• Tommy Bradley
• Leanne Amaning
• Helena Ford
• Sean Stone

How to watch Love Island online

If you’re unable to watch the show on ITV 2, you can stream it on the ITVX website, through the ITVX app (available for Android and iOS), or on TVPlayer.com. Previous episodes are also available for catch-up viewing.

If you wish to download an episode for offline viewing, such as during your commute, you can subscribe to ITVX Premium. This subscription offers a seven-day free trial followed by a monthly fee of £5.99.

How to watch Love Island abroad

While ITVX allows you to watch Love Island and other shows while abroad, it is restricted to viewers within the UK.

There is a workaround, but it’s essential to note that these methods violate ITV’s terms and conditions.

To watch Love Island from any country worldwide, you’ll need to utilize a VPN. This tool routes your internet connection through a server located on the internet before reaching the desired website or service.

Since ITVX is UK-based, you’ll require a UK-based server on your chosen VPN. This enables you to sign up from any foreign country like Spain or the USA.

We successfully registered for ITVX using NordVPN, which offers a variety of servers at affordable prices. Alternative VPN options can be found in our list of the best VPNs.

Once you have installed your VPN, follow these steps:

• Time to complete: 5 minutes
• Tools required: Laptop or phone

1.

Find a server

Open your VPN on your phone, laptop, or another device, and select a server based in the UK.

2.

Launch ITVX

Visit the ITVX website or app on the same device – it should recognize you as being in the UK.

If you encounter issues, try switching to a different UK server on your VPN – streaming platforms like ITVX may block known VPN IP addresses, requiring you to test multiple servers until you find one that works.

Additionally, if you have an ad blocker enabled, ITVX may block it. Since some VPNs include ad blocking features, you may need to disable that aspect of the software.

3.

Sign in

If you haven’t already, ensure you create an ITVX account to start watching. Provide a valid email address, date of birth, and a UK postcode to sign up. You can then proceed to sign in as usual.

Keep in mind that ITVX may block VPNs intermittently, so there is a chance it may not always work. If issues persist, reach out to your VPN’s support for assistance.

Before proceeding, check that Location Access is disabled for the ITVX app as this can conflict with VPN usage. Review the app settings on your mobile device to verify.

Most VPNs are compatible with desktops, mobile devices, and can also be installed on devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick and gaming consoles.
