Last updated: 13 March 2026
The nights are getting lighter and it's starting to (slowly) warm up which can only mean one thing to fans of reality TV: Love Island 2026 is on the way.
Following off the back of an explosive All Stars season at the beginning of the year, we can expect some fresh-faced singletons to rock up to Spain shortly, ready to graft and crack on.
While details are so far sparse about the upcoming season, we can expect news at any time, so we'll keep this page up to date with all the latest information as we have it ahead of an anticipated summer 2026 release.
As it stands, we don't have a confirmed release date or window just yet for Love Island 2026.
Going off previous years, we can be fairly confident it will start in early summer.
As for the month, every season apart from one started in June, so we'll take an educated guess and say Love Island 2026 will hit screens in June of this year.
At time of writing, there is no trailer for Love Island 2026 - we'd expect this to come closer to the time of launch. We'll keep this page updated with any new clips as they land.
