Love Island Games Season 2 premiered on Tuesday 16 September 2025, with a global cast from the UK, US and beyond. The series is streaming on Peacock in the United States, while the UK broadcast date remains unconfirmed. Fans are already buzzing thanks to explosive preview clips, a new host, and early drama teased from returning Islanders.
When and Where to Watch Love Island Games Season 2
The season debuted in the US with a two-hour premiere at 9 pm ET / 6 pm Pacific on Peacock. The first week will feature nightly episodes, followed by a steady release schedule across the season. According to NBC, fans should expect new episodes 'every day but humpday,' which means Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
The winners of Love Island Games Season 2 will take home a $100,000 (approximately £80,000) prize, adding a fresh competitive edge to the dating show format.
UK fans are still waiting on a confirmed air date. Previous seasons of Love Island Games sparked significant interest across the Atlantic, so speculation is mounting on when ITV or another broadcaster will announce a local release.
Who Is Hosting the New Season
Ariana Madix takes on full-time hosting duties this season, bringing a high-profile presence to the villa. Known for her appearances on US reality television, she has been at the centre of pre-launch promotions, including high-profile red carpet looks that have caught attention online.
Narration remains in the hands of Iain Stirling, who continues to lend his voice to the franchise. The show has again been filmed in Fiji, providing a tropical backdrop for the latest round of challenges, romances and rivalries.
Producers have promised that Season 2 will feature a greater focus on competitive challenges, designed to directly influence coupling decisions and eliminations.

Explosive Sneak Peeks Already Stirring Fans
