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, Monday on ITV2 runs its usual daytime mix of Real Housewives imports and TOWIE reruns before an early-evening quiz run of Celebrity Catchphrase, The Floor and The 1% Club. The Only Way Is Essex returns with a brand new episode at 9pm, and Family Guy and American Dad! carry the schedule through to gone midnight.

ITV2 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the ITV2 primetime line-up for tonight, Monday 17 August 2026.

Celebrity Catchphrase — ITV2, 6pm

Stephen Mulhern hosts a charity edition of the picture-clue format. Jeremy Vine, Luke Kempner and Charlie Hedges take turns at the board, playing for a shared jackpot rather than for themselves. Series 10 continues its run in the pre-primetime slot it has held for months.

The Floor — ITV2, 7pm

Rob Brydon’s giant-grid quiz moves into its fifth episode, contestants picking off neighbouring squares to expand their own territory while a wrong answer sends them home outright.

The 1% Club — ITV2, 8pm

Lee Mack’s logic show reaches its ninth episode of the series. The format’s appeal is the same as ever: questions built on common sense rather than trivia, whittling a hundred players down to whoever can crack the one-per-cent question at the end.

The Only Way Is Essex — ITV2, 9pm

TOWIE returns for a genuinely new instalment tonight, series 38 continuing the group’s Albania trip. Saff’s birthday gets a surprise from Josh, and the episode builds towards Junaid’s proposal, with the rest of the cast working to keep Joe in the dark about what’s really going on. It’s the one appointment-viewing slot on ITV2 this evening, and easily the night’s biggest draw.

Family Guy — ITV2, 10pm–11pm

Three episodes run back to back from 10pm: Peter’s estranged sister turns up in Quahog under a wrestling alias, Quagmire’s misjudged declaration to Lois causes fallout for Peter, and an older episode has Peter briefly running Carter’s company after a coma-inducing bachelor party. It’s the usual late-night comfort scheduling, mixing recent and much older episodes without distinction.

American Dad! — ITV2, 11:30pm

The night closes with a series 4 episode, Stan needling Roger over how little the alien actually contributes to the household, only for Roger to claim he secretly controls rather more than anyone realises.

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?

Monday night on ITV2 opens with a run of quiz shows: Celebrity Catchphrase at 6pm, The Floor at 7pm and The 1% Club at 8pm. The Only Way Is Essex returns with a brand new episode at 9pm, Family Guy takes over for three episodes from 10pm, and American Dad! rounds off the night from 11:30pm.

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, Monday’s ITV2 still delivers one genuinely new episode: The Only Way Is Essex lands its Albania storyline at 9pm on schedule, backed by an early-evening quiz run of Celebrity Catchphrase, The Floor and The 1% Club. Family Guy and American Dad! take care of everything after 10pm.

It’s a night built around a single new episode rather than a wall of reruns. TOWIE fans get what they came for at 9pm; the quiz hour beforehand is the better reason for anyone else to stick around.
