ITV2 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule
Here’s the ITV2 primetime line-up for tonight, Thursday 15 October 2026.
Ant and Dec’s Limitless Win Christmas Special — ITV2, 6:55pm
A one-off festive edition of the Ant and Dec game show, running just over an hour. Two audience members each get celebrity teammates and a shot at the Limitless Ladder. The regular series is on earlier in the day, at 1:05pm.
The 1% Club Rollover — ITV2, 8pm
Lee Mack hosts a spin-off for people who reached the final question of the main quiz and want another go, with up to £500,000 on offer. Series 1, episode 4.
Big Brother — ITV2, 9pm
A new episode of the live-in reality series (series 4, episode 29). The house still runs on public votes, with the least popular residents facing eviction.
Big Brother: The Group Chat — ITV2, 10pm
The companion show picks over the day’s events with evicted housemates, celebrity fans and guests, hosted by Kate Lawler and GK Barry. Series 1, episode 24, and new.
Family Guy — ITV2, 11:05pm
Two repeats from series 10. The Blind Side at 11:05pm has Brian dating a woman who turns out to dislike dogs, while the Griffins fit a new staircase. Thanksgiving follows at 11:35pm, with Lois cooking for the whole gang and Joe’s son Kevin coming home from Iraq.
What kind of shows are on ITV2
Reality TV and dating formats
Love Island is what the channel is built around, but the daytime schedule runs on the same fuel at lower stakes: Dress to Impress, Dinner Date, TOWIE, and imported American Real Housewives by the yard. Most of it is repeated within the same day, which tells you how it is meant to be watched.
Comedy and US animation
Family Guy, American Dad! and Bob’s Burgers hold up the late-night schedule. None of it is exclusive to ITV2 and none of it is new, but there is enough of it in circulation that a rerun is on somewhere between 11pm and 3am most nights.
Family films
Weekend evenings usually go to animated and studio comedy films, the Ice Age and Madagascar sort of thing.
How to watch ITV2

Streaming online
ITV2 streams live and free through ITVX, ITV’s streaming service, at itv.com/watch and via the ITVX app on smart TVs, iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV and most games consoles. You’ll need a free ITVX account, which takes a couple of minutes to set up and costs nothing. Full episodes of Love Island, Family Guy and most other ITV2 shows are also available on demand shortly after broadcast.
ITV2 +1 and sister channels
ITV2+1 repeats the schedule an hour behind, which is the fix for sitting down at 9.15pm and finding you have missed the opening. Numbers are in the table above. Beyond the timeshift channel, ITV2 sits alongside ITV1, ITV3 and ITV4, and a show premiering on ITV1 will often turn up on ITV2 later.
