If you’re looking to embrace the summer vibes, then you’ll be excited to hear that Love Island is making a comeback. A new group of contestants has entered the villa in search of love and romance.
Since the show airs during the warmer months, you might find yourself on vacation when it’s on. But don’t worry, we’ve got a solution for watching it from abroad – similar to how you can access BBC iPlayer overseas or stream American channels like The CW and Netflix US.
New episodes of Love Island air every weekday and Sunday at 9pm BST. Check out this year’s cast below:
How to Watch Love Island Online
If you can’t watch the show on TV, you can also stream it on the ITVX website, through the ITVX app (available for Android and iOS), or on TVPlayer.com. Additionally, you can catch up on previous episodes.
If you want to download an episode to watch offline, such as during your commute, you can sign up for ITVX Premium. They offer a seven-day free trial followed by a monthly fee of £5.99.
How to Watch Love Island Abroad
While ITVX lets you watch Love Island and other shows while you’re outside the UK, the platform is restricted to UK residents only.
However, there’s a workaround, although it’s important to note that these methods violate ITV’s terms and conditions.
To watch Love Island from anywhere in the world, you’ll need to use a VPN. This tool routes your internet connection through a server located elsewhere before reaching the website or service you want to access.
Since ITVX is UK-based, you’ll require a UK-based server on your chosen VPN. This will allow you to sign up from any foreign country, like Spain or the USA.
We successfully signed up for ITVX using NordVPN, a provider with a variety of servers and budget-friendly pricing. You can explore other options in our list of top VPNs.
Once you’ve set up your VPN, follow these steps:
- Time to complete: 5 minutes
- Tools required: Laptop or phone
Find a Server
Open your VPN on your device and select a UK-based server.
Launch ITVX
Visit the ITVX website or app on your device – it should recognize you as being in the UK.
Sign In
If you haven’t already, create an ITVX account to start watching. Provide a valid email address, date of birth, and UK postcode, then sign in as usual.
While VPNs can sometimes be blocked by ITVX, you can reach out to your VPN’s support for assistance. Make sure to disable Location Access in the ITVX app settings as well, as this can interfere with VPN usage.
Most VPNs are compatible with desktop and mobile devices, and you can even set up a VPN on devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick and gaming consoles.
