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

Published: 7 September 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 8 September 2026 has no Love Island either, main series or Unseen Bits; the evening instead runs on a quiz-and-reality mix, Wheel of Fortune and The 1% Club, before a returning episode of Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection and a Family Guy triple bill take over for the back half of primetime.

The Real Housewives pair repeats in the late afternoon before Celebrity Catchphrase takes the 6pm slot ahead of tonight’s primetime run.

ITV2 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the ITV2 primetime line-up for tonight, Tuesday 8 September 2026.

Celebrity Catchphrase — ITV2, 6pm

Stephen Mulhern puts three celebrities through the picture-based guessing format alongside digital mascot Mr Chips, this time playing for a chosen charity rather than cash. It’s episode five of the current celebrity run, an easy watch to open the evening rather than appointment viewing.

Wheel of Fortune — ITV2, 7pm

Graham Norton fronts the revival of the classic spinning-wheel format, contestants buying vowels and guessing phrases letter by letter for a shot at the bonus round. The show returned to British screens in January 2024 after a 25-year absence, and this ITV2 outing is a repeat of a series that has its first run on ITV1. Series 2, episode 3.

The 1% Club — ITV2, 8pm

Lee Mack’s logic-puzzle quiz whittles a packed studio down question by question, each one supposedly answerable by only a shrinking slice of the population. The appeal is watching confident players trip over questions that sound far easier than they turn out to be. This is episode eight of the fourth series.

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

Olivia Attwood continues her factual strand on the costs, physical and financial, of chasing an idealised appearance, from cosmetic procedures to the wider beauty industry pushing them. Despite the “new” flag, this is the sixth episode of an already-running third series, not a launch, continuing threads set up earlier in the run.

Family Guy — ITV2, 10pm

The first of three straight Family Guy episodes tonight, pulled from the show’s eighth season. Seth MacFarlane’s Griffin family sitcom has been a fixture of ITV2’s late-night schedule for years, built on cutaway gags more than any ongoing plot.

Family Guy — ITV2, 10:35pm

A second episode runs straight on from the first, again from the eighth season, with no break in the Griffins’ evening. ITV2 typically stacks Family Guy this way rather than spreading episodes across the week.

Family Guy — ITV2, 11:05pm

The triple bill closes with an episode pulled from an earlier seventh season rather than continuing on from the two before it. Mixing seasons within one night’s run is standard practice for how the channel fills this slot.

American Dad! — ITV2, 11:35pm

Seth MacFarlane’s other animated sitcom takes over once Family Guy wraps, following CIA agent Stan Smith through an episode from the show’s seventh season. It’s the last scheduled programme of the night before earlier reruns take over.

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?

Wheel of Fortune at 7pm and The 1% Club at 8pm lead into a returning episode of Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection at 9pm, then three Family Guy episodes back to back from 10pm and American Dad! at 11:35pm. There’s no Love Island tonight — 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 is the usual quiz-and-reality mix rather than a film night: Wheel of Fortune and The 1% Club carry the first half of primetime, then Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection takes the 9pm slot before a Family Guy triple bill and a closing American Dad! see the night out.

There’s no Love Island tonight, main series or Unseen Bits, and the daytime schedule runs on Deal or No Deal, Supermarket Sweep, Wheel of Fortune reruns and the Real Housewives strand — see the table above for the full day’s listings.
