ITV2 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the ITV2 primetime line-up for tonight, Tuesday 18 August 2026.

Celebrity Catchphrase — ITV2, 6pm

Stephen Mulhern puts a celebrity pair through “say what you see” on Celebrity Catchphrase (series 11, episode 1), the short warm-up before the quiz run gets going properly.

The Floor — ITV2, 7pm

Rob Brydon oversees The Floor (series 1, episode 6), the knockout grid where contestants hold their square by trivia alone and lose it the moment a neighbour answers wrong.

The 1% Club — ITV2, 8pm

Lee Mack’s The 1% Club (series 5, episode 10) sticks to its format: every question is solvable by logic rather than knowledge, and the percentage beside it shows how rarely people actually get there.

Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection — ITV2, 9pm

A new episode of Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection (series 3, episode 3) turns to facelifts, looking at why the procedure has grown more common among people under 50 and what the newer techniques cost against traditional surgery. It’s the premiere the evening is built around.

Family Guy — ITV2, from 10pm

Three Family Guy episodes run back to back from 10pm: Brokeback Swanson (series 14, episode 8), Big Man on Hippocampus (series 8, episode 10) and Dial Meg for Murder (series 8, episode 11). None are new, but stacking three in a row is standard for ITV2’s late slot.

American Dad! — ITV2, from 11:35pm

American Dad! closes out primetime with Daddy Queerest (series 5, episode 19) at 11:35pm, before two more Bob’s Burgers reruns take over once the schedule tips 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?

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?

Tuesday night on ITV2 opens with a run of quiz shows: Celebrity Catchphrase at 6pm, The Floor at 7pm and The 1% Club at 8pm. Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection returns with a new episode at 9pm, Family Guy takes over for three episodes from 10pm, and American Dad! closes out primetime 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, Tuesday’s ITV2 centres on Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection, back at 9pm with a new episode on the rise of facelifts among people under 50. It’s 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 one documentary premiere rather than a wall of reruns. Olivia Attwood’s audience gets a genuinely new hour at 9pm; the quiz block beforehand is the better reason for anyone else to stick around before then.
