ITV2 TV Guide: Listings, Schedule & What’s On ITV2 Tonight

ITV2 has been ITV’s channel for the 16-34 crowd since December 1998, and since the 2015 Love Island revival it has essentially been the Love Island channel. Free on Freeview, free to stream live on ITVX. With the main series off air, Wednesday evening on ITV2 runs on quizzes and reality rather than films: Celebrity Catchphrase and a new episode of The Floor US carry the early slots, Lee Mack’s The 1% Club takes 8pm, and a run of Family Guy repeats fills the 9pm to midnight stretch before American Dad! closes the night. Times and channel numbers for every platform are in the tables below.

ITV2 Schedule: Wednesday 5 August 2026 (Full Listings)

Here is the complete ITV2 schedule for Wednesday 5 August 2026, on Freeview 6.

What’s on ITV2 today

Wednesday daytime on ITV2 opens with home improvement and dating formats, Backyard Builds at 6am followed by Dress to Impress at 6:30am. From 7:30am the American Real Housewives franchise takes two hours of the schedule, Salt Lake City’s Santorini trip followed by Orange County, before The Only Way Is Essex rejoins its own Essex storyline at 9:20am.

Both Dawson’s Creek and Charmed rewind to early episodes at 10:15am and 11:10am, a rare pairing of two different decades of US drama back to back. Deal or No Deal and Supermarket Sweep carry the schedule past lunch, The Floor US returns at 2:10pm, and a new Salt Lake City episode closes out the afternoon at 4:10pm ahead of Orange County at 5pm.

ITV2 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the ITV2 primetime line-up for tonight, Wednesday 5 August 2026.

Celebrity Catchphrase — ITV2, 6pm

Stephen Mulhern hosts a celebrity edition of Celebrity Catchphrase for charity, with Antony Cotton, Matt Dawson and Stacey Dooley all trying to say what they see. It’s an older repeat rather than a fresh recording, but the celebrity format tends to play looser than the civilian version.

The Floor US — ITV2, 7pm

A new episode of The Floor US airs at 7pm. Rob Lowe hosts, and “The Knives Are Out” sees the format’s most dominant duo of the series targeted by a rival hoping to knock them off their tile.

The 1% Club — ITV2, 8pm

Lee Mack presents The 1% Club at 8pm. The format’s appeal is that logic and common sense count for more than general knowledge, which is how contestants who’d struggle on a standard quiz can still end up walking away with the jackpot.

Family Guy — ITV2, 9pm

Family Guy runs five episodes back to back from 9pm, starting with “Road to the Multiverse” (series 8), in which Stewie shows off a device that lets him and Brian hop between parallel universes, only for the trip home to go wrong.

Family Guy — ITV2, 9:30pm

Next up is “Family Goy”, in which Lois learns from a routine medical test that she has Jewish ancestry, a discovery that delights Peter more than it does her.

Family Guy — ITV2, 10pm

“Padre De Familia” follows at 10pm, an older episode in which Peter founds an anti-immigration group and then has to reckon with his own family history when he learns he was born in Mexico.

Family Guy — ITV2, 10:30pm

At 10:30pm it’s “Love Blactually”, where Brian meets a woman he’s keen on only to watch Cleveland step in and win her over first.

Family Guy — ITV2, 11:05pm

The block closes with “I Dream of Jesus”, in which Peter’s fixation on the Trashmen’s “Surfin’ Bird” pushes Brian and Stewie to try to wipe every copy of the song off the planet.

American Dad! — ITV2, 11:35pm

American Dad! takes over at 11:35pm with “Comb Over: A Hair Piece”, Stan tackling his hidden baldness with help from Roger’s hairstylist alter ego, Josay Bosay.

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

Channel numbers

Here’s where to find ITV2 across the main UK television platforms:

ITV2 is free on all of the above platforms, no subscription required.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What channel is ITV2 on Freeview?

ITV2 is on Freeview channel 6, with ITV2+1 on channel 29. Both are free with no subscription.

What channel is ITV2 on Sky, Virgin Media and Freesat?

Sky channel 118, Virgin Media 115, and Freesat 113. ITV2+1 sits on 218, 315 and 114 respectively.

What’s on ITV2 tonight?

Wednesday night on ITV2 runs on quizzes rather than films: Celebrity Catchphrase at 6pm, a new episode of The Floor US at 7pm, The 1% Club at 8pm, then five Family Guy episodes back to back from 9pm before American Dad! closes out the night at 11:35pm.

What time is Love Island on ITV2?

9pm every night from Sunday to Friday during the main series. Saturdays get Love Island: Unseen Bits instead of a new episode, because the Islanders get the day off from filming.

Can I watch ITV2 free on ITVX?

Yes, ITV2 streams live and free on ITVX with no subscription needed, just a free account.

Verdict

With Love Island off air until the next series, ITV2 fills Wednesday evening with quizzes rather than films. Celebrity Catchphrase and a new episode of The Floor US cover the early slots, and Lee Mack’s The 1% Club takes 8pm before the schedule hands over to Family Guy for the rest of the night.

Either side of it the channel does what it always does. Reality reruns and game shows at teatime, Family Guy and American Dad! into the small hours. Dependable rather than essential.
