LOVE ISLAND’S line-up of All-Star contestants is serving up drama, huge twists, and games that we can’t help tuning in for.
And if you’re heading outside of the UK soon, you don’t have to miss a second of the action: here’s how to watch Love Island 2024 abroad.
The sun is peeking through, ushering in the summer vibes, which can only mean one thing: Love Island 2024 is almost here.
Details are still under wraps about who will be bringing the heat into the villa this year, but we can anticipate lots of poolside lounging and fiery conversations around the firepit soon.
Expect the fabulous Maya Jama to return as the host, guiding us through the summer’s steamiest romances and inevitable drama, while keeping an eye on who’s turning heads.
It’s not just romance on the line, there’s also a cool £50,000 prize up for grabs for the winning couple.
And it’s not just fleeting flings; Love Island has sparked real, lasting connections.
Take Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury, who, post-villa, are now engaged and doting parents to little Bambi.
Or 2017 winners Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt, currently expecting their third child and reaching out to fans for baby name suggestions.
As ever, the show airs on ITV2, with catch-up episodes available to watch on ITVX.
But if you’ve ever tried to stream ITVX when you’ve been outside the UK, you’ll know that its content is blocked.
Luckily, there’s a simple way to stream ITV shows like London from overseas: download a VPN such as ExpressVPN or NordVPN.
VPNs are downloadable online tools that can be used to suggest you’re using a UK-based IP address and bypass the content-blocking issue.
We’ve got it all covered with simple instructions in the following section.

When does Love Island 2024 start?
While we’re still waiting for official confirmation on the 2024 return date of Love Island, we can make a pretty good guess based on past patterns.
The series has started on the first Monday of June each year, with the 2023 season starting on June 5, and the 2022 season on June 6.
Given this trend, mark your calendars for Monday, June 3, as a probable kickoff for the 2024 season.
As usual, the show will light up your screens at 9 PM on ITV2, followed by the companion panel show, Love Island: After Sun, at 10 PM.
