Want to know where to watch Love Island USA? Season six is underway, and we have all the latest details on where to live stream every episode. We'll also help you get ready to tune in from outside the USA, as overseas channels are now starting to show it for free.

Love Island USA's format began with daily episode drops during the first week on Peacock. For the rest of the season, new episodes drop Thursday to Tuesday. If you'd prefer to watch it for free, there's a Canadian option right now, and we expect the UK, Australia, and New Zealand to start showing episodes on local services, free of charge, very soon.

This is how it's worked for past seasons and is the situation right now with the ongoing UK version of the show, as shown in our guide on where to watch Love Island UK. However, if you're outside countries with a free option, you'll need a VPN to get around geo-restrictions; otherwise, the website will block your access when it detects you're not in the country.

How to watch Love Island USA live stream online from anywhere

Given Love Island USA is being shown for free in Canada, that's the most open option we've found so far. If you want to access Canada's free CTV streaming site from outside of the country, you'll need a VPN. These apps let your device appear to be in a different country and offer excellent privacy options at home or on public WiFi for your phone, laptop, streaming devices, and more. To watch Love Island USA online, simply switch it to a Canadian zone, then tune into the freely available live stream - you don't actually have to create a user account at CTV, as we've been able to watch without signing in.

If you already have a US Peacock subscription but are traveling outside the US right now, a VPN will allow you to carry on watching as if you were back home. 

We also expect the other international streaming options to start showing Love Island USA soon, and these work especially well with a VPN, as you don't need a domestic bank account to create an account, as they're 100% free. So, if you're not in the US and don't already have a Peacock sub, this is the best way to go. 

Our preferred option of all the best VPN providers is ExpressVPN, which comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're unsatisfied. Check out the latest deal details below.

Where to watch Love Island USA in the US 

Peacock has the rights to Love Island season 6 in the US. This is not to be confused with Hulu, which is currently airing new episodes of the UK version of the show. The cheapest $5.99 tier of Peacock will do for Love Island USA, but if you want to eliminate the ads, you can always upgrade to Premium Plus for $11.99 a month.

Where to watch Love Island USA in Canada

Canada is the first country to offer a free Love Island USA live stream for season 6 via CTV. There doesn't seem to be a delay, either, as it currently has the same number of episodes as Peacock in the US. You can jump in immediately, as you don't need to create an email login to watch the show.

If you're outside Canada, though, geo-restrictions block access when you try to hit that play button. We've been able to navigate this while out of the country by using a VPN. We'll walk you through the steps to do the same further down this page.

Where to watch Love Island USA online in the UK

Currently, there is no UK option for season six of Love Island USA. However, we expect this to change very soon as ITVX has all the past seasons and will inevitably get this one. With Love Island UK only starting recently, they might just be trying to avoid the overlap. This will be a free option, at least. If you're outside the UK, you must use a VPN to access ITV's coverage.

ITVX is the best streaming site globally for Love Island fans, as it features all the different international versions (the latest US version aside) and spinoff shows.

Where to watch Love Island USA online in Australia

Reality TV fans in Australia will eventually be able to watch Love Island USA online for free (date TBC). If you don't mind waiting, Love Island USA will air on 9Now, with just a simple sign-up required. If you want to watch these free episodes from outside of Australia, you'll need a VPN. 

How to watch Love Island USA online with a VPN

  • Sign up for a VPN if you don't have one.
  • Install it on the device you're using to watch Love Island USA.
  • Turn it on and set it to Canada.
  • Go to CTV.
  • Watch Love Island USA season 6 for free.

Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
