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

Published: 31 August 2026

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. Tuesday 1 September 2026 has no Love Island tonight; instead the evening runs on quiz and entertainment formats, Celebrity Catchphrase, Wheel of Fortune and The 1% Club, before Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection at 9pm and a late run of Family Guy and American Dad! to close the night.

What’s on ITV2 today

Tuesday’s ITV2 day opens on overnight reruns, American Dad! and Bob’s Burgers from a mix of series, a Plebs and Deep Fake Neighbour Wars, before Unwind with ITV and three hours of Teleshopping carry the small hours to 6am. Backyard Builds opens the proper schedule at 6am, Dinner Date follows at 6:30am, and the American Real Housewives franchise takes breakfast, Potomac at 7:30am then Beverly Hills at 8:15am.

The Only Way Is Essex airs at 9:15am, then a run of imports fills the late morning: Dawson’s Creek at 10:10am and Charmed at 11:05am. Deal or No Deal takes the early afternoon from 12:05pm, Supermarket Sweep follows at 1:05pm and Wheel of Fortune returns at 2:05pm ahead of a second Only Way Is Essex episode at 3:05pm. The Real Housewives double bill repeats through the back half of the afternoon, Potomac at 4:05pm and Beverly Hills at 5pm, running through to 6pm exactly as Celebrity Catchphrase opens the evening. There are no films and no FYI Daily bulletins anywhere on today’s ITV2 schedule.

ITV2 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the ITV2 primetime line-up for tonight, Tuesday 1 September 2026.

There’s no standout tonight; ITV2 sticks to its usual quiz-and-comedy shape.

Celebrity Catchphrase — ITV2, 6pm

Stephen Mulhern hosts a charity edition at 6pm (series 11, episode 8), with Motsi Mabuse, Rob Delaney and Amber Rose Gill taking on the giant screen.

Wheel of Fortune — ITV2, 7pm

Graham Norton’s revival continues at 7pm (series 1, episode 6).

The 1% Club — ITV2, 8pm

Lee Mack’s logic quiz fills the 8pm hour (series 4, episode 4).

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

Olivia is in Seoul at 9pm exploring South Korea’s K-beauty industry (series 3, episode 5) — mid-series, not a launch.

Family Guy and American Dad! — ITV2, 10pm–midnight

Three Family Guy episodes fill 10pm, 10:30pm and 11pm, but they’re pulled from different series rather than a single run, so don’t expect the plots to connect. American Dad! closes the night at 11:30pm.

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’s evening opens on three quiz and entertainment formats, Celebrity Catchphrase, Wheel of Fortune and The 1% Club, before Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection at 9pm. Three Family Guy episodes from different series follow at 10pm, 10:30pm and 11pm, and American Dad! closes the night at 11:30pm. There’s no Love Island tonight, and no films anywhere on today’s schedule — see the table above for the full day’s listings.

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

Tuesday’s ITV2 keeps the evening in-house rather than reaching for a film. An hour each of Celebrity Catchphrase, Wheel of Fortune and The 1% Club carries the schedule from 6pm to 9pm, all home-grown quiz and entertainment formats rather than the imported reality the channel sometimes leans on.

Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection takes 9pm with a mid-series trip to Seoul, not a launch. Three Family Guy episodes pulled from different series run at 10pm, 10:30pm and 11pm without following on from each other, and American Dad! closes the night at 11:30pm. There’s no Love Island tonight, and no film anywhere on today’s schedule — the whole day, daytime included, runs on quiz shows, reality imports and animation reruns.
