Love Island USA season 8 is set to return on Tuesday, June 2, with new episodes streaming daily on Peacock in the United States at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT, except Wednesdays. The new season brings another round of romance, drama, and competition as Islanders arrive in a custom-built villa in Fiji’s Mamanuca Islands. The series continues to be one of Peacock’s biggest reality draws, following strong viewership from the previous season.
In the U.S., viewers will need a Peacock subscription to watch the show. The service’s plans begin at $10.99 per month, while the Premium Plus tier, priced at $16.99 per month, removes commercials. Some bundled offers, including a Walmart Plus trial, may also provide access to Peacock.
Fans outside the United States can still access the show by using a VPN to connect through a U.S. server and stream Peacock as if they were at home. This option is especially useful for Americans traveling or living abroad who want to keep up with the daily release schedule.
International release plans vary by country. In New Zealand, Love Island USA season 8 is expected to arrive on TVNZ+ shortly after its U.S. premiere, and the platform is free to use. In Canada, the season will stream on Crave, with episodes available alongside the U.S. rollout from June 2. Crave subscriptions start at $11.99 per month.
In the United Kingdom, season 8 is expected to land on ITVX, though viewers may need to wait until after the 2026 UK edition of Love Island finishes. ITVX is free to sign up for, though live television viewing in the UK requires a TV licence. Catch-up viewing on ITVX does not require one. Australian viewers will be able to watch the season on Stan beginning June 4, with plans ranging from AU$12 to AU$22 for 4K streaming.
Ariana Madix returns as host for the new season, continuing her role after appearances across the franchise, while Iain Stirling once again provides narration. The companion series Love Island Aftersun will feature Ciara Miller and Tefi Pessoa as hosts.
The new cast includes Aniya Harvey, Beatriz Hatz, Bryce Alakai Dettloff, Gabriel Vasconcelos, KC Chandler, Kenzie Annis, Melanie Moreno, Sincere Rhea, Sean Reifel, Trinity Tatum, Vasana Montgomery, and Zach Georgiou. Among the standout names is Paralympic athlete Beatriz Hatz, while Zach Georgiou is the brother of previous Love Island USA and Love Island Games contestant Charlie Georgiou.
The show follows a group of singles living together in a villa as they couple up, face challenges, and deal with frequent surprise arrivals known as bombshells. With a new cast, a familiar host, and daily episodes throughout the week, Love Island USA season 8 is poised to deliver another summer of entertainment and relationship drama.
