Using this guide, you can figure out how to catch the final episode, whether you're watching live or catching up online.

And if you need a bit of help our Love Island 2023 cast guide will bring you up to speed, which isn't quite the same as watching the show, but it's a lot less time-consuming!

Over the course of roughly nearly eight more weeks we'll get to see how these summery singles get on, with cast members booted out of the villa (and new ones added) all the time.

So that you can keep on top of the action, here's how to watch Love Island 2023 from where you are.

How to watch Love Island in the UK

Love Island is a TV show by ITV, and as such you'll be able to watch the show on ITV2 at 9 pm each day. This is the same way you can watch Love Island: Aftersun to unpack after each episode.

If you can't watch Love Island on your TV, you can also do so online, because ITV's streaming service ITVX lets you watch live TV over the power of the internet.

You can also use ITVX to catch up on past episodes of Love Island (both previous seasons and already-aired episodes of this season if you fall behind and need to catch up). 

ITVX is free to license fee payers, but for £5.99 per month you can get ITVX Premium which lets you avoid ads (and also unlocks a whole extra library of content).

How to watch Love Island from abroad

If you're going to be away from home but still want to watch Love Island 2023, you might run into some problems. Thankfully, you can solve this exact issue with a Virtual Private Network (VPN). 

A VPN lets you change your IP address to that of the area of what you want to watch, meaning you can tune in to your program of choice like Love Island or other content even if you're not there. Our favorite is ExpressVPN, which is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our sister site, TechRadar.

ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN is one of the simplest and most affordable ways to watch what you want from anywhere you want to watch it. 

It's straightforward and easy to use, has great security, is available on loads of streaming devices and, best of all, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out 100% risk-free.

How to watch Love Island in the US

Finally, Love Island season 10 is available to watch online; it wasn't when the show debuted, but now Hulu is airing episodes as well as Aftersun. All previous episodes, that aired before Hulu started showing Love Island, are on the platform too, so you can catch up if you have the time.

Hulu costs $7.99 per month for its ad-enabled or $14.99 for its ad-free tiers; many people choose to subscribe via the Disney Bundle which gets you ad-enabled Hulu and ad-enabled Disney Plus for just $9.99 per month (there are other tiers which drop ads and add ESPN Plus too).

How to watch Love Island in Australia

In Australia, as in the UK, it's possible to watch Love Island 2023 for free.

That's because the show is being aired by 9 Network, which doesn't cost anything. You can also use its streaming service, 9Now, to watch online, catch up on episodes you've missed or watch entire past seasons.
