Love Island U.K. season 13 starts Monday, June 1, with Maya Jama back as host and a new cast of singles heading into the Majorca villa. The series airs on ITV2 and streams on ITVX in the U.K., while U.S. viewers get the first episode on Hulu on June 4.
That split release is why the search for where to watch Love Island is landing so hard today. In Britain, the show is live and free on ITVX, and new episodes run six nights a week from Sunday through Friday at 9 p.m. BST, which is 4 p.m. ET for U.S. viewers. Hulu is carrying the season on a three-day delay, so Americans who want to keep pace with the U.K. audience have to look elsewhere.
ITVX is the cleanest route for viewers in the U.K., but it is not frictionless. Creating a free account requires a U.K. postcode, and anyone trying to watch live from abroad would need a VPN to get around that hurdle. For everyone else, Hulu remains the simpler option, even if it means waiting until June 4 for the first episode.
Season 13 is also arriving with the show’s usual summer rhythm intact. The U.K. run typically lasts around eight weeks, but ITV has not confirmed exactly how long this one will go on. That leaves the premiere date and the viewing options as the key facts for now: the new season is here, the U.K. is first, and the U.S. is still behind by three days.
Every day after that, the schedule stays fixed. New episodes keep coming Sunday through Friday, and for viewers deciding how to follow along, the choice is immediate: watch live on ITVX in the U.K., wait for Hulu in the U.S., or find another way to keep up before spoilers do the talking.
