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, Friday evening on ITV2 runs on its usual reserve fuel: Celebrity Catchphrase at 6pm, Rob Brydon’s The Floor at 7pm and Lee Mack’s The 1% Club at 8pm, before John Wick: Chapter 2 takes over the 9pm film slot, split by a short FYI Daily bulletin at 10:05pm. Two episodes of Family Guy close out the night.

What’s on ITV2 today

Friday’s daytime line-up on ITV2 runs almost entirely on repeats. Backyard Builds and Dress to Impress open the morning, then Real Housewives of Potomac and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills run back to back before The Only Way Is Essex, Dawson’s Creek and Charmed cover the mid-morning stretch.

Deal or No Deal and Supermarket Sweep fill the early afternoon, and a UK edition of The Floor and a second TOWIE episode follow before teatime. Real Housewives of Potomac returns at 4:10pm, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills takes 5pm, and Celebrity Catchphrase closes the daytime run at 6pm, just ahead of tonight’s primetime line-up.

ITV2 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the ITV2 primetime line-up for tonight, Friday 14 August 2026.

Celebrity Catchphrase — ITV2, 6pm

Stephen Mulhern’s teatime staple turns celebrity for the night. Ardal O’Hanlon takes the first crack at the picture clues, with Ruth Madeley and Chris Bisson alongside him chasing prize money for charity. The format hardly needs the extra star power to work, but it gives the tenth outing of series nine a bit of extra shine.

The Floor — ITV2, 7pm

Rob Brydon’s tile-based quiz has whittled its field down to 57 remaining players by this stage, each defending a square against whichever category a rival picks for them. Series one, episode four keeps the elimination pressure building rather than resetting from scratch.

The 1% Club — ITV2, 8pm

Lee Mack is back with the logic questions that have caught out plenty of confident players before now. Nobody needs specialist knowledge to survive the opening rounds; the trick is that common sense trips people up more often than a straight trivia round ever would.

John Wick: Chapter 2 — ITV2, 9pm

Keanu Reeves’ assassin gets dragged back into the underworld he tried to walk away from, this time with a bounty on his own head. The 2017 sequel runs long enough to spill past the hour mark, breaking briefly for a short FYI Daily bulletin at 10:05pm before picking back up ten minutes later.

Family Guy double bill — ITV2, 11:25pm and 11:55pm

Two episodes see the night out. First, Stewie develops a dependency on ADHD medication while Peter and Quagmire turn a bit of friendly one-upmanship into rival cookery shows. Then Joe’s estranged father turns up in Quahog, pushing Peter into an awkward impersonation, while Stewie strikes up an unlikely friendship with Tom Cruise.

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?

Friday night on ITV2 runs Celebrity Catchphrase at 6pm, The Floor at 7pm and Lee Mack’s The 1% Club at 8pm, then John Wick: Chapter 2 takes the 9pm film slot, broken by an FYI Daily bulletin at 10:05pm before resuming at 10:10pm. Two episodes of Family Guy close the night at 11:25pm and 11:55pm.

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, Friday’s ITV2 follows its regular midweek shape: Celebrity Catchphrase, The Floor and The 1% Club carry the early evening, then John Wick: Chapter 2 takes over the 9pm film slot, broken by a short FYI Daily bulletin just after 10pm.

Two Family Guy episodes close things out before midnight. Nothing new on the schedule tonight and no Love Island to build the evening around, but a run of familiar game shows into an action sequel is a fair swap for a Friday. Dependable rather than essential.
