You'd think with all the poolside dramas, hideaway escapes and multiple muggings off, one visit to the "Love Island" villa would be enough. But with its "All Stars" spinoff, 12 familiar faces are heading back for more fun in the sun.

Here we reveal all the details you need to watch "Love Island All Stars" season 3 online and from anywhere with a VPN — including free options.

'Love Island All Stars' season 3 streams, TV channel

"Love Island All Stars" season 3 premieres in the U.K. on Thursday, January 15 at 9 p.m. GMT / 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT / 8 a.m. AEDT (Tue.)
• FREE STREAM — ITVX (U.K.) / TVNZ+ (N.Z.)
• U.S.Peacock
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk-free

After a delay due to storms, "All Stars" will now start on Thursday, January 15. And to make up for the lost episodes, ITV will screen a regular version of the show on the first Saturday — not the "Unseen Bits" sister show as usual.

Unlike most regular series of "Love Island", it isn't only presenter Maya Jama and narrator Iain Stirling returning to our screens. A dozen alumni from seasons past are heading to South Africa for a second shy at love — or at least a few extra Instagram followers!

This year's list of intakes ranges as far back as season 4 of "Love Island U.K." (Charlie Frederick from the famous Dani Dyer series), while there are two faces that will be much more vivid in the memories of fans: Helena Ford and Tommy Bradley from season 12 last summer. Helena, in particular, was a fan favorite, trying to make the best of her on-again-off-again relationship with series villain Harry.

Extended to a six-week show from the usual five, here's everything you need to watch "Love Island All Stars" season 3 online and stream episodes from wherever you are in the world for FREE!

The 2026 series of "Love Island All Stars" will be shown on the free-to-air ITV2 on TV in the U.K.

That means all episodes will also be available to stream for FREE live and on demand on the ITVX streaming service. You just need a valid TV Licence to stream content live.

Episodes air every day (excluding Saturdays) at 9 p.m. GMT from Thursday, January 15. Viewers can still get their daily fix, though, with "Love Island All Stars: Unseen Bits" every Saturday (except on January 17 when it will be a regular episode). The series has been extended to a six-week run for season 3.

If you're outside of the U.K. when it's on, you can use a VPN to get around the geo-restrictions that will prevent ITVX from working. Scroll down for more information and instructions.
