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, Saturday on ITV2 turns into a film marathon: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 opens the afternoon at 2:15pm, Johnny English Reborn takes 4:35pm, Miss Congeniality II: Armed and Fabulous runs from 6:45pm and The Batman closes the night from 9pm. Short FYI Daily bulletins split each film roughly an hour in.

ITV2 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the ITV2 primetime line-up for tonight, Saturday 15 August 2026. It’s a straight run of films from mid-afternoon on, each one paused briefly for a five-minute FYI Daily update.

Johnny English Reborn — ITV2, 4:35pm

Rowan Atkinson’s accident-prone agent comes out of retirement to stop an assassination plot, with Rosamund Pike as the MI7 psychologist assigned to keep him in line. ITV2 pauses for FYI Daily at 5:35pm and picks the film back up five minutes later.

Miss Congeniality II: Armed and Fabulous — ITV2, 6:45pm

Sandra Bullock’s Gracie Hart has traded undercover work for chat-show appearances since her pageant days, until a kidnapping in Las Vegas drags her back into the field alongside Regina King’s sceptical new partner. Another FYI Daily break falls at 7:45pm, with the film resuming at 7:50pm through to 9pm.

The Batman — ITV2, 9pm

Matt Reeves’ take on the Caped Crusader closes the night. Robert Pattinson’s younger, rawer Batman tracks a masked killer picking off Gotham’s power players one riddle at a time, with Zoë Kravitz’s Selina Kyle a wary ally rather than a straightforward love interest. A last FYI Daily slot splits the film at 10:05pm before it runs through to half past midnight.

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?

What’s on ITV2 tonight?

Saturday night on ITV2 is a film run: Johnny English Reborn from 4:35pm, Miss Congeniality II: Armed and Fabulous from 6:45pm, then The Batman closes things out from 9pm through to 12:25am. Each film is broken by a short FYI Daily bulletin around the hour mark.

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, Saturday’s ITV2 hands the evening over to films rather than a game-show run. Johnny English Reborn and Miss Congeniality II carry the afternoon and early evening, then The Batman takes the 9pm slot and holds it past midnight, each one interrupted briefly for FYI Daily.

Nothing new in the line-up, and the FYI Daily breaks mean none of the three films run in one uninterrupted block, but a spy comedy, a broad action-comedy and a proper crime thriller across one evening is a decent spread for a Saturday night in. Solid rather than must-watch.
