Love Island is available on Peacock Premium, but only certain seasons and versions
Yes, you can watch Love Island on Peacock Premium, but what you can watch depends on which version of the show you want and when it aired. Peacock Premium carries the US version of Love Island, including recent seasons and some older ones. However, not every season is on the service, and the UK version of Love Island is not available through Peacock Premium — it streams on Hulu instead.
The easiest way to find out what's currently available is to search "Love Island" directly in the Peacock app or website. The catalog changes as Peacock adds and removes titles, so what's there today may not be there in six months. If you're looking for a specific season and can't find it, check Hulu or other streaming services, as the rights to older seasons sometimes move between platforms.
Key Takeaways
- Peacock Premium includes the US version of Love Island, though not all seasons are available at once.
- The UK version of Love Island streams on Hulu, not Peacock, so you'll need a Hulu subscription to watch it.
- Peacock's catalog of Love Island episodes changes over time, so a season available today may not be there next year.
- Searching the Peacock app directly is the fastest way to see which Love Island seasons are currently available to you.
Which Love Island seasons are on Peacock Premium right now
Peacock Premium typically carries recent seasons of the US Love Island, including Season 5 and Season 6, though the exact lineup shifts. Older seasons may or may not be available depending on licensing agreements. Peacock does not publish a fixed list of which seasons will stay on the service permanently, so availability is not may provide year to year.
If you're looking for a specific season and don't see it in the Peacock app, it may have been removed to make room for newer content, or the streaming rights may have moved to another platform. Hulu sometimes carries older US Love Island seasons as well, so that's worth checking if Peacock doesn't have what you want.
The difference between the US and UK versions
The US version of Love Island and the UK version are two separate shows with different casts, locations, and formats, even though they follow the same basic premise. Peacock Premium carries only the US version. If you want to watch the UK version — which has more seasons available and a longer history — you need a Hulu subscription instead.
The UK version originally aired on ITV2 in the United Kingdom and has been running since 2015. The US version started later and airs on NBC, which is why Peacock (NBC's streaming service) has the US rights. The two shows are not interchangeable, so make sure you're searching for the right one if you have a preference.
How to search for Love Island on Peacock Premium
Open the Peacock app or go to peacocktv.com and use the search bar at the top. Type "Love Island" and the results will show you every Love Island title currently available on your subscription level. Tap or click on a season to see the episode list and start watching.
If you see a lock icon next to a title, that content requires a higher subscription tier or is not included in Premium. Peacock Premium is the mid-tier subscription (above the free tier, below Premium Plus), so most current Love Island seasons should be available without an upgrade. If a season shows as locked, you may need to check Hulu or another streaming service.
What to do if Love Island isn't on Peacock Premium
If the season you want isn't showing up in Peacock, check Hulu next — Hulu carries both the US and UK versions of Love Island, though availability varies by season. You can also search other streaming services like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, as older seasons sometimes rotate through different platforms.
Another option is to buy individual seasons or episodes through digital retailers like Apple TV, Google Play, or Amazon Prime Video. This costs more than a subscription but lets you watch a specific season without committing to a full service. Some seasons are also available for purchase on the NBC website.
Peacock Premium subscription details
Peacock Premium is the standard paid tier of Peacock and includes access to most of the service's content, including current and recent seasons of Love Island. The subscription removes ads from most shows (though some content still has ads), and it costs less per month than Peacock Premium Plus, which adds offline downloads and removes ads from nearly all content.
If you have a cable or internet provider that includes Peacock Premium as part of your package, you may already have access at no extra cost. Check your provider's app or website to see if Peacock is bundled with your service. Some providers like Comcast Xfinity include Premium automatically for subscribers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I watch Love Island for free on Peacock?
Peacock has a free tier with limited content, but Love Island is not part of it. You need Peacock Premium or Premium Plus to watch Love Island. If you have a cable or internet provider that bundles Peacock Premium, you may be able to watch it at no extra cost through your provider account.
Is the UK Love Island on Peacock?
No. Peacock carries only the US version of Love Island. The UK version streams on Hulu. If you want to watch the UK show, you'll need a Hulu subscription instead.
Do I need Premium Plus to watch Love Island, or is Premium enough?
Peacock Premium is enough. Love Island is included in the standard Premium tier. Premium Plus adds offline downloads and removes ads from nearly all content, but you don't need it just to watch Love Island.
What happens if a Love Island season disappears from Peacock?
Streaming rights change, and seasons may be removed when licensing agreements end. If a season disappears, check Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, or Apple TV. You can also buy the season outright through digital retailers if you want permanent access.
Can I watch Love Island on Peacock outside the United States?
Peacock is only available in the United States. If you're outside the US, you'll need to use a local streaming service that carries Love Island in your country.
