How to watch ‘Love Island U.K.’ season 12 final online and for free from anywhere

It’s been another unmissable season of the hit dating drama. And, having weathered almost two months of bombshells, Hideaway hijinks, firepit recouplings and partner-swapping, we’re ready to see which of our loved-up couples will be crowned this year’s “Love Island U.K.” winners!

Stream the grand finale (“no invite needed”) with our below guide, detailing how to watch the “Love Island U.K.” season 12 final online tonight and 100% free from anywhere with a VPN.

What a whirlwind journey it’s been for our islanders. After initially choosing their first partner based only on a dating profile, the past eight weeks has seen them “Eat. Sleep. Crack on. Repeat” as they’ve hustled to find “the one.” They’ve navigated messy love triangles, had their bonds tested by Casa Amor, and kept composed in the face of some shocking firepit recouplings (Harry picking Shakira just days after going “exclusive” with Helena springs to mind).

But which of our final four couples will be crowned this year's winner? Maya Jama will re-enter the villa to reveal all, interviewing some former islanders before we learn who the public has picked to walk off into the sunset with £50,000. Will it be adorable duo Toni and Cach, Oddschecker’s current favorite to take the top spot? Or will “YasGPT” and Jamie snatch the grand prize?

Find out with our comprehensive viewing guide, explaining how to watch “Love Island U.K.” season 12 and stream the final live or on-demand and for free from anywhere in the world.
