where to – Love Island U.K. season 13 starts Monday, June 1 at 9 p.m. BT, with the U.S. premiere landing on Hulu/Disney+ on Thursday, June 4. To watch live from the U.S., viewers need a VPN to stream on ITVX—details including the release schedule and timing for each plat
On Monday, June 1, Love Island U.K. returns for its 13th go-around—and the gap between the U.K. and the U.S. is the whole story.
In the U.K., the new season premieres at 9 p.m. BT on ITV2 and livestreams for free on ITVX. For U.S. viewers, that same “live” moment doesn’t come automatically. The only way to catch the episodes live from the U.S. is by using a VPN—ExpressVPN subscriptions start at $2.49 per month—then changing the server location to the U.K. and streaming via ITVX.
For anyone willing to wait just a few days, there’s a simpler path. Episodes will drop in the U.S. on Hulu/Disney+ on a three-day delay. That means the premiere becomes available to watch in the U.S. on Thursday, June 4.
The schedule doesn’t loosen after the first episode. After the June 1 premiere, episodes are released six nights a week in the U.K., Sunday through Friday, at the same time—9 p.m. BT. That maps to 1 p.m. PT and 4 p.m. ET for U.S. viewers timing-wise.
For British viewers, the season 13 premiere is Monday, June 1, at 9 p.m. BT / 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT on ITV2 and ITVX. ITVX is the channel’s free online streaming platform, and the ITVX livestream is where U.S. viewers need to be watching if they want to see it in step with the U.K. release.
If you’re still choosing your starting point. here’s the cleanest way to line it up: the premiere is Monday. June 1 at 1 p.m. PT / 4 p.m. ET (9 p.m. BT). Stream online for live viewing through ITVX using ExpressVPN, or watch in the U.S. through Hulu/Disney+ with the three-day delay—making the premiere available on June 4.
Older seasons are also in play. Seasons one through 12 are available on-demand on Hulu/Disney+ (or Hulu on its own) and on ITVX, with ITVX accessible in the U.S. via VPN.

So wait it’s free on ITVX but you still need a VPN? lol that’s dumb.
I don’t get why people can’t just stream it at the same time. If it’s 9 pm in the UK then it should be 9 pm here right? Anyway Hulu on June 4 sounds easier.
VPN to change to the UK for ITVX… so basically you’re paying to watch a free site. Also ExpressVPN is starting at $2.49 a month?? That seems like a scam or like it only works for one episode. Do they charge you after the first month or what
Love Island is always the same vibes but I swear the VPN stuff is getting outta hand. I saw something on TikTok that says it’s on Netflix now tho?? Maybe I’m mixing seasons up. Either way 1 pm PT on Monday is super random for a “live” premiere.
