Some shows ease you into the drama — Love Island(the U.K. version, which is the OG by the way) cannonballs straight in. Season 12 kicked off Monday, June 9 at 9 p.m. BST for viewers in the U.K., just in time to remind us that sunglasses at night and red flags in daylight are a summer tradition. With new singles, new twists, and a decade's worth of chaos to celebrate, this year's trip to the villa might just be the juiciest one yet. Now, let's break down where to watch Love Island Season 12 if you're watching from the U.S.

Stream with Hulu Subscribe Now

Unless you've got access to ITV2 or ITVX (or a VPN up your sleeve), you won't be able to watch episodes live. But, Hulu has officially started releasing episodes in its usual batch format for this series, with a number now available to binge. If you need something to do between the next drop, Love Island USA Season 7 is available on Peacock and will be on every day (aside from Wednesday) at 9/8c. So, you will have the ability to watch two different casts this summer — with a handful of different accents.

Maya Jama is back to host and alongside the fresh cast, this season will spotlight the show's 10-year anniversary with callbacks to iconic moments and cameos from fan-favorite couples like Cara De La Hoyde-Massey and Nathan Massey, plus Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope.

So whether you're watching for romance, recouplings, or the inevitable shouting match by the firepit, Season 12 is shaping up to be exactly the kind of beautiful drama we've come to expect.

How to Watch Love Island Season 12 on Hulu

To watch Love Island Season 12 on Hulu, you'll need a subscription starting at $9.99/month. As mentioned, new episodes hit the platform a little later, but some episodes are already available to watch.

How to Watch Love Island Season 12 on the Disney Bundle

The Disney Bundle is one of the best options for obtaining Hulu. Starting at just $16.99/month, you'll get Hulu, Disney+, and either Max or ESPN+ together. That's right, $16.99/month for three different streaming services.

How to Watch Love Island Season 12 on Hulu + Live TV

We also want to talk about Hulu + Live TV, which offers not only Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+, but also over 100 channels at $82.99/month. No, you won't be able to stream Love Island Season 12 live with this one even if you are in the U.K., but, hey, at least you'll still get live TV.

How to Watch Love Island Season 12 from anywhere with a VPN

If you're outside the U.K. and itching to keep up with Love Island Season 12 as it airs, you don't have to sit this one out. ITV2 or ITVX are the go-to platforms for watching the show live and on demand — but they're only accessible in the U.K. That's where a VPN comes in. By using a virtual private network to connect to a U.K. server, you can access the ITV ecosystem just like a local.

VPNs like ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and Private Internet Accesss make it easy to spoof your location, so you can tune in from anywhere.
