For launch night, The Sun revealed that ITV bosses are planning a huge shake-up that has never been done before.
The first episode will air on ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX simultaneously, with the rest of the series being shown on ITV2 and ITVX.
The show will be shown at 9pm, Sunday to Friday.
On Saturdays, a highlights programme will be shown in place of the normal show.
A source said: “ITV want to throw their weight behind Love Island and make sure it has a big, glitzy moment when the 11th series kicks off next month.
“Showing it across every channel means creating what they hope will be a big TV moment. It shows there is still a real commitment to the format even nine years on.”
