How to watch Love Island online for free: stream from UK or abroad online

It's time to say goodbye. Goodbye to the two Alexs. Goodbye to your guilty summer obsession. Goodbye to Love Island! After eight glorious weeks of drama, dumpings and Dani Dyer, Love Island Series 4 is finally at an end. If you're away on holiday and want to know how to watch the Love Island Live Final while you're abroad, you've come to the right place - we'll show you how you can keep up with the action.

Tomorrow, you'll have to work out how you're going to cope without your daily Love Island fix. But today is for thinking back fondly on the Spanish summer of true romance and sweet moments, mixed with sexual encounters and some of the most awkward scenes ever broadcast on British TV. We've witnessed emerging horrors, ongoing love stories and cruel betrayals. And Jack and Dani are hot favourites ttake home the £50,000 cash prize.

For the uninitiated, Love Island is a dating show like no other. Kind of a cross between BIg Brother, Blind Date and Britain's Next Top Model - it's all abs, bikinis and downright trashiness. Only the most toned and beautiful need apply for a spot in the Majorca villa with evictees and overall winning couple being voted for by the public. And if that all sounds a little tacky, Love Island has critical chops too - it won the 'Best Reality and Constructed Factual' category at this year's BAFTA TV Awards.

How to watch Love Island online for free in the UK:

Love Island is one of those rare shows these days that people still gather around the TV for at the time of broadcast while retweeting memes, clips and opinions. But you can easily watch it via the ITV website or catch up on your mobile devices via the ITV Hub app which you can download here for Android and here for your iPhone or iPad - the Live Final kicks off at 9pm BST on Monday, July 30.

The other way to watch ITV online is to go via TVPlayer.com - we actually prefer this option as the stream tends to be better quality and more robust. It's also a faster site, more responsive and quicker to get up and running with. It's still free, too.

Watch Love Island anywhere else in the world for free:

OK, so you probably already knew how to watch in the UK. So here comes the clever bit if you can't go without Love Island while you're on your hols, or if you live abroad and are curious about what all the fuss is for.

Simply download and install a VPN to change your IP address to one in the UK and head over to TVPlayer.com or the ITV Hub website for catch up episodes. You can also get the ITV Hub app for the Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, games consoles and other smart devices, and ExpressVPN will work on all these devices too so no worries there.

From there you’ll have to sign up for a free account to stream Love Island on your computer or from your favorite streaming devices to your TV. Here's how to stream Love Island with a VPN:

How to watch Love Island series 1 and 2

If you're completely new to Love Island and watch to start from the beginning - or if you're just so obsessed with Love Island that you need to watch old episodes to bridge the impossible 24 hour gap between episodes, you'll be pleased to know that you can now watch Love Island series 1 and 2 on Netflix UK. If you're outside of the UK, again you'll need to use a VPN to watch these episodes but once you've got your VPN installed it really is super quick and easy. At the moment there's no easy watch to watch Love Island series 3 but we expect this to pop up on Netflix before long.
