Smash-hit relationship reality show Love Island UK is back for a sizzling 12th season, with the show set for a number of big surprises to celebrate its tenth year on air.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the show as it airs live, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if it's not available where you are.
Maya Jama will once again usher 12 singletons into the iconic luxury villa in Mallorca, Spain, with some brand-new twists and big-anniversary-themed gameplay planned for the first two weeks.
In a franchise first, the female Islanders will enter the villa in pairs and select partners based solely on dating profiles—before even laying eyes on the male contestants. And in a dramatic turn, reports suggest one contestant will be dumped from the villa on night one.
Among those vying for the £50,000 ($68,000) prize for the winning couple are Harry Cooksley, a semi-pro footballer and model often mistaken for Arsenal star Declan Rice; Sophie Lee, a motivational speaker and burn survivor; Conor Phillips, a rugby pro from Limerick; and Antonia "Toni" Laites, an American bombshell living with ulcerative colitis who's ready to raise awareness and find love.
If you want to see who sticks it out and who gets voted out of the villa, here's how you can watch season 12 from anywhere in the world.
Love Island UK season 12 premiere dates
The latest Love Island UK season premiers in the UK on Monday, June 9, at 9 p.m. BST with a 90 minute launch show. From then on the show will air nightly at the same time each night except for Saturdays, with Season 12 set to run for eight weeks.

How to watch season 12 from anywhere on VPN
If you find yourself unable to view Love Island Uk locally, you may need a different way to watch -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic. It's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, nonblackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks. Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

In addition, you may be able to try out Hulu for free for a month.

Note that you may need the 9Now app to watch season 12, and it might not be available from your local app store. Be prepared to sign up for an account before you can get binging.
Quick tips for streaming Love Island Uk using a VPN
- With four variables at play -- your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN -- your experience and success when streaming the show may vary.
- If you don't see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the "search for city or country" option.
- If you're having trouble getting the match after you've turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs -- like Roku -- don't have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you'll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you're using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network's sports app, you'll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, as both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you're using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
