How to watch Love Island: All Stars abroad with a VPN

If you are outside the UK, ITVX might not be available due to rights restrictions.

A VPN can let you connect to a UK server, access ITVX, and watch live or on demand.

Step by step:

Choose a reputable VPN provider such as ExpressVPN or NordVPN.
Install the app on your phone, tablet, laptop, or TV.
Open the VPN and select a UK server location.
Go to ITVX, sign in or create a free account, then search for Love Island.
Press play, and you are set.

Note: Watching ITV2 live requires a valid UK TV licence, even if you are overseas. Head to our how to watch ITV abroad to find out more.

If one UK server is unavailable, try a different UK location in the app, and for the smoothest stream, use a strong Wi‑Fi connection or Ethernet.

We’ve actually tested several VPNs – you can check out our favourites in our best VPN service and best VPN for Netflix round-ups.
