Love Island USA’s explosive eighth season comes to an end this weekend. We’ve rounded up everything you need to know about the hit reality series, including where to watch Love Island USA, the cast members and a look at the trailer.
The series lands again on Peacock in the US, but streaming options look a little different in Canada this year. We’ll break down all the details and highlight what you need to know about the show airing in other countries. The season finale will arrive on Sunday, July 12.
Where to watch Love Island USA in the US
New episodes of Love Island USA will be released on Peacock in the United States from June 2. During premiere week, new episodes will air every day except Saturdays. After that, new episodes will be released daily except Wednesdays (and Aftersun will be released on Saturdays). Subscriptions to Peacock Premium cost $11 per month, but you can upgrade to ad-free Peacock Premium Plus for $17 per month. Peacock only features seasons 4-8, and you’ll need a subscription to Paramount Plus (starting at $9/month) to watch seasons 1-3.
Peacock Premium (monthly plan)
Peacock is a convenient streaming source for hit NBC TV shows, Universal movies, and select sports like Sunday Night Football. The service also offers its own original programming.
Where to watch Love Island USA in Canada
Love Island USA used to release new episodes for free on CTV, but Bell Media removed the app, so you’ll need a Crave account to watch the latest season. Crave subscriptions start at $12 per month for a Standard plan with ads.
Where to watch Love Island USA in the UK
ITVX is the streaming home of Love Island USA in the UK, but it usually takes several months for the latest season to arrive overseas. ITVX, a free streaming service that only requires creating an account to use, is the home of the original series Love Island (Love Island UK).
How to watch Love Island USA from anywhere
Fans traveling away from home can still access their usual streaming options with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are useful cybersecurity tools that allow people to temporarily change the virtual location of their electronic devices, so their favorite websites and apps work just as they would at home. The paid options we’ve recommended require country-specific payment methods, so this option will work best for those who are simply traveling abroad right now.
NordVPN is one of the best VPNs we’ve tested. It is an easy-to-use option with a huge selection of servers. Plus, it has a 30-day money back guarantee.
NordVPN Subscription
NordVPN tops the list of best VPN services. It offers excellent value, with a solid feature set and a low monthly price. A wide selection of international servers, high-level security, fast connections, and audited privacy protection have made the brand a household name in the VPN world for a reason.
What’s up with Love Island in the UK?
If you can’t get enough of Love Island, you’re in luck. The original Love Island, Love Island UK, is currently airing its thirteenth season. New episodes are released on ITV in the UK and Hulu in the US, so you won’t be able to stream the series with Peacock. You can find out more about how to tune in in our Love Island UK streaming guide on where to watch.
What time do Love Island USA episodes premiere on Peacock?
New episodes of Love Island USA will be released on Peacock at 9pm ET or 6pm PT. The new episodes should appear around the same time on Crave in Canada.
