With 'meme-inducing moments' and 'jaw-dropping surprises' promised, the famous "Love Island" villa in Fiji is reopening its doors to a new set of scantily clad contestants in season 8.
Here's how to watch "Love Island USA" season 8 online from anywhere with a VPN.
"Love Island USA" season 8 premieres on Tuesday, June 2 and will go out daily at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT
• U.S. — Stream on Peacock (or via a $1 Walmart Plus trial)
• CAN — Crave

Eight seasons into the U.S. "Love Island", and with countless other international versions around the world, you probably now the score by now. A group of attractive young singles head to the villa to see if they can create some chemistry and leave the island with their perfect match — together with an army of new Instagram followers and a share of the $100,000 prize.
You can bet the bottom of those dollars that there will be a slalom of twists and turns along the way, with the usual spectrum of passionate kisses and furious arguments. Love can do funny things to these guys and gals, as can shock recouplings, the dropping in of bombshells and, of course, time away in Casa Amor. The cast reveal has already thrown in some familiar faces with a Paralympian (Beatriz Hatz) and daughter of NBA player Donnell Harvey (Aniya) among the OG dozen.
With Ariana Madix back on hosting duties, it won't be long before you have your new favorites — and those you love to hate. Here is everything you need to watch "Love Island USA" season 8 online and stream every single episode from wherever you are in the world.
Can I watch 'Love Island USA' S8 for free?
While free streams of "Love Island USA" are made available in the U.K. and New Zealand, it doesn't start airing there until later in the year. And there's no longer a free streaming option in Canada.
That means that the cheapest way to watch season 8 episodes in the U.S. is to get a Walmart Plus trial for just $1 — Peacock Premium is included as part of the subscription.
Away from the U.S.? Use a VPN to watch your usual U.S. streaming service from abroad. See below for details.

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching "Love Island USA" on your preferred streaming service?
You can still watch "Love Island USA" season 8 thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. Ideal when you're away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN — we explain why in our NordVPN review.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple:
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're overseas and want to access your Peacock subscription, you'd select a United States server from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the show. Head to your subscription service and stream "Love Island USA" as normal.
