What time does Love Island 2025 start tonight?

Fans can tune in to see the newest season of Love Island on ITV2 or ITVX at 9pm tonight and each night moving forward.

Joined by host Maya Jama for the third year running, the first episode of the season ran for 90 minutes, meaning it finished for the evening at approximately 10:30pm. However, usually the show's episodes run for around 60 minutes.

• Tonight, Love Island is on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm and is set to finish airing at 10.05pm.

Love Island will be on ITV2 and ITVX six nights a week from Sunday-Friday. On Saturday, ITV2 air 'Unseen Bits' which is a collation of funny moments that didn't make the main show cut that week.

How long will Love Island 2025 be on for?

We don’t have an exact answer for how long Love Island 2025 will run for, but based on previous seasons, an eight week running time seems likely.

Last year’s season ran for 49 episodes and lasted for eight weeks, starting on 3rd June and ending on 29th July.

What day is Love Island not on?

Love Island is not on Saturday night but in it's place 'Unseen Bits' airs 9pm-10pm.

This is so the islanders can have a break from filming for one day a week. During their break the boys and girls are kept separately to avoid any juicy chats happening.
