Which Love Island seasons are currently on Peacock
Peacock carries recent seasons of Love Island USA, typically including the current season and the previous two to three seasons. The exact lineup changes as new seasons premiere and older ones rotate off. When a new season airs on NBC, it becomes available on Peacock either the same night or the next day, depending on whether it was a live broadcast or a recorded episode.
The UK version of Love Island is also on Peacock, though with fewer seasons available compared to the U.S. version. Peacock does not currently carry every season of either version from the beginning, so if you are looking for a specific older season, search the app first to confirm it is there before subscribing.
How to find and watch Love Island on Peacock
Open the Peacock app or go to peacock.com and sign in with your account. Use the search bar at the top and type "Love Island" — both the U.S. and UK versions will appear in the results. Tap or click on the show title to see all available seasons and episodes.

Peacock works on phones and tablets running iOS or Android, computers running Windows or Mac, and smart TVs including Samsung, LG, Vizio, and others. You can also watch through streaming devices like Amazon Fire Stick, Roku, Apple TV, Google Chromecast, and Nintendo Switch.

The video quality depends on your internet connection — Peacock streams up to 4K on supported devices, but most episodes stream at 1080p or 720p depending on your connection speed and device.
Peacock Premium vs. Premium Plus for watching Love Island
Both Peacock Premium and Premium Plus include Love Island with no difference in content access. The main difference is the number of devices you can watch on at the same time. Premium allows one stream at a time, while Premium Plus allows two simultaneous streams. If you live alone or watch by yourself, Premium is sufficient. If multiple people in your household want to watch different shows at the same time, Premium Plus is necessary.
Premium Plus also removes ads from most content, while Premium includes ads. The ad-free version costs $11.99 per month, compared to $5.99 for Premium with ads. Neither tier includes everything on Peacock ad-free — some live sports and special events still show ads even on Premium Plus.
What to do if Love Island is not showing up on Peacock
If you search for Love Island and nothing appears, first check that you are signed into a Premium tier account. Free Peacock accounts have limited content and do not include Love Island. If you are on Premium and still do not see it, the show may have rotated off the platform temporarily, or your region may not have access to that particular season.
Try searching for "Love Island USA" or "Love Island UK" separately, as the two versions are listed as different shows. If you still cannot find it, check the Peacock app's "What's New" or "Featured" section to see what is currently available. You can also contact Peacock support through the app's help menu to confirm whether a specific season is available in your area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Premium Plus to watch Love Island, or does Premium work?
Premium is enough. Both Premium and Premium Plus include Love Island. The only difference is that Premium Plus removes ads and allows two simultaneous streams instead of one. If you are the only person watching, Premium at $5.99 per month is sufficient.
Can I watch Love Island on Peacock if I have cable?
It depends on your cable provider. Some cable companies like Comcast Xfinity include Peacock Premium as part of their package at no extra cost. Log in with your cable provider credentials to see if you have access. If your provider does not include Peacock, you will need to pay for a subscription separately.
Are all seasons of Love Island on Peacock?
No. Peacock carries recent seasons of both the U.S. and UK versions, but not every season from the beginning. Search the app for the specific season you want to confirm it is available before subscribing. Older seasons may rotate off and return later.
Can I read Love Island episodes to watch offline?
Yes, but only on Premium Plus. Peacock Premium does not include the read feature. With Premium Plus, you can read episodes to your phone or tablet and watch them without an internet connection. Downloaded episodes expire after a set period, typically 30 days.
What happens if I cancel my Peacock subscription?
